Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery was struck again by Iranian drones on Friday, resulting in fires at several units. This marks the second consecutive day of attacks, with the refinery also being hit on Thursday and causing fires. Kuwaiti firefighters are working to contain the blazes, and no injuries have been reported. The attacks occurred as Kuwait celebrated Eid al-Fitr.
