Iranian drone attacks struck critical energy facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain on Sunday. The strikes significantly escalated geopolitical tensions across the Persian Gulf.
In Kuwait, a drone caused a fire at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex. This facility houses the headquarters for both the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and the nation's Oil Ministry.
Bahrain's state-owned Bapco Energies reported a fire at an oil storage facility following a similar strike. Officials reported no casualties at either location.
The attacks shook energy markets as delegates prepared for a critical OPEC+ meeting on Sunday. These incidents follow weeks of volatility and shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
