Iranian forces have repeatedly targeted Kuwait’s key Mina Al‑Ahmadi oil refinery, striking it again with drone attacks that sparked fires in multiple units amid the broader US–Israel–Iran war escalation. Fire crews worked to contain blazes, and no casualties have been reported, though parts of the facility were shut down as a precaution. The refinery had been hit the previous day, marking a second consecutive attack on critical Gulf energy infrastructure. These strikes come as Iran intensifies retaliatory assaults on regional energy sites following Israeli bombardment of its South Pars gas field, deepening tensions and threatening global supply stability.
