Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery was attacked by Iranian drones for the second consecutive day on Friday, according to Kuwaiti officials. The strikes ignited fires at several units within the facility.

Firefighters were working to control the blazes on Friday, with no immediate reports of injuries from the attack. The refinery had previously been targeted on Thursday, also resulting in fires at the facility.

The Friday assault occurred as Kuwait observed Eid al-Fitr, the holiday celebrating the end of Ramadan. The timing of the attack during the significant religious celebration added to tensions in the region.

The Iranian strikes appear to be part of escalating regional conflicts involving energy infrastructure. On Wednesday, Israel conducted bombing operations against Iran's South Pars offshore natural gas field in the Persian Gulf, one of the country's major energy assets.

The attacks represent an expansion of targeting energy facilities across Gulf Arab states, marking a concerning development in regional security. The Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery is a significant piece of Kuwait's oil infrastructure, and repeated attacks could impact both local operations and regional energy markets.

No additional details were immediately available regarding the extent of damage to the refinery or potential impacts on Kuwait's oil production capacity.
