A fire broke out on Friday at the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, owned by the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC), following drone attacks. The official news agency in Kuwait reported that several drones targeted the facility in the morning, causing fires in various units of the refinery.


The incident led to the closure of several units within the refinery. This is the second attack on the same facility, after a similar fire occurred on Thursday. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the attacks, and the impact on oil production remains unclear for now.
