Kuwait’s energy infrastructure was targeted early Friday after multiple drones struck the Mina Al-Ahmadi Refinery, a key oil processing facility.
The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation confirmed the attack, stating that a fire broke out in some operational units following the strike. Authorities said there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The refinery, one of the largest in the region, plays a crucial role in Kuwait’s oil production. Emergency response teams were quickly deployed to control the blaze and assess the situation.
Officials indicated that the fire had been brought under control, with safety protocols activated to prevent further damage.
While no injuries or fatalities have been reported, authorities are conducting a detailed assessment to evaluate the extent of structural and operational damage. The full impact on refinery output remains unclear as investigations continue.
