The attack forced a full evacuation of the facility, with firefighting crews deployed to contain the blaze, according to an official KPC statement. This strike follows a pattern of escalating Iranian aerial assaults, including recent drone attacks on Kuwait’s Mina Al-Ahmadi and Mina Abdullah refineries. Kuwait’s airport has also faced repeated strikes, signaling a broader campaign targeting critical infrastructure in the Persian Gulf region.
