Iran has formally submitted reports to international bodies documenting attacks on its water supply facilities and damage to over 410 points across the country’s drinking water network, the head of the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company says according to state-run IRNA.

Hashem Amini said the attacks during the 12-day and 40-day wars violated international conventions, humanitarian law and principles of humanity, which prohibit attacks on facilities essential to civilian water supplies.

“Following the damage inflicted on our facilities, we registered, documented and notified all cases to international authorities for follow-up,” Amini told reporters.
