A drone attack struck a refinery belonging to Kuwait's national oil company on Friday, causing multiple fires but no casualties, the country's official news agency reported.
"The Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, owned by the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC), was targeted early this morning by several hostile drone attacks, causing fires in some of its units," the agency stated, adding that "several" units "have been shut down."
Later in the day, the Kuwaiti military posted on X that the fire, caused by an attack from two drones, had been brought under control and that no casualties had been reported.
The attack comes as Tehran has intensified strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure in recent days, in retaliation for the joint U.S. and Israeli offensive that began on February 28.
Elsewhere in the Gulf region, the United Arab Emirates said on Friday it had responded to missile and drone attacks, while Bahrain reported extinguishing a warehouse fire caused by debris from an "Iranian aggression."
In Saudi Arabia, the Defense Minister stated that within a two-hour span, more than a dozen drones had been "intercepted and destroyed" in the east of the country and another in the north.
