Iranian drones struck Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery on Friday for the second consecutive day. The attack sparked fires across multiple units of the facility. Kuwait Petroleum Company confirmed the strike on its largest refinery and deployed firefighting crews. There are no initial reports of casualties.
The assault follows an Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field earlier this week. Repeated targeting of key infrastructure heightens fears of lasting disruptions to global energy supplies.
Brent crude currently trades near $110 per barrel amid extreme market volatility. Prices dipped slightly Friday following diplomatic signals and potential U.S. releases of sanctioned Iranian oil. This direct assault underscores ongoing physical risks to the global energy supply chain.
