Iran carried out drone attacks on Kuwait’s state-owned oil refinery early Friday, according to Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC). The refinery, located in Mina Al-Ahmadi, suffered multiple drone strikes that caused a fire in one of its units. Emergency teams were deployed to extinguish the blaze, and authorities temporarily shut down several units as a precaution. No casualties have been reported so far.

State media reported that the assault is part of Iran’s ongoing retaliatory campaign across Gulf countries following an Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field. The incident marks a continuation of escalating hostilities in the region, with Iran targeting Gulf states in response to recent attacks.

Despite the end of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr across the Gulf, the report noted that there are no signs of the conflict easing soon.
