Fire erupts after drone hits second Kuwait oil refinery: Authorities

A fire erupted at a second refinery owned by Kuwait's national oil company after a drone attack, the information ministry said.

"One of the operational units of the Mina Abdullah refinery, belonging to the Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) was targeted by a drone attack, triggering a fire at the site," the ministry said on X.

The company's other oil refinery, Mina Al-Ahmadi, was also struck by a drone on Thursday, sparking a small blaze.
