Overview
- Kuwait Petroleum Corporation said a drone hit the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery Friday, causing fires in several units.
- Fire crews worked to contain the blazes at the site near Al-Ahmadi Port, and the company reported no injuries.
- KPC described the aircraft as Iranian in statements carried by the state agency KUNA, which outside outlets repeated without separate verification.
- Officials have not detailed damage or output cuts, leaving the scale of any refinery downtime unclear.
- Mina Al-Ahmadi is one of three refineries in Kuwait, so any prolonged shutdown could disrupt fuel supply and raise regional energy security concerns.
