Iranian drone damages desalination plant in Bahrain

DUBAI, Mar 8: An Iranian drone attack caused “material damage” to a desalination plant, Bahrain said on Sunday morning.

It was the first time an Arab country had reported Iran targeting a desalination plant during the nine-day war.

Hundreds of desalination plants sit along the Persian Gulf coast, and the Arab countries in the region rely heavily on the facilities for their drinking water. (AP)
