"The Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery, belonging to the Kuwait National Oil Company (KNPC), was targeted early this morning by hostile drone attacks, which caused fires in some of its units," according to the agency, following an attack on the same facility a day earlier that had also caused a fire.
Today's attack on the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery caused no casualties but led to the shutdown of units at the facility, while firefighters are working to bring the fire under control, according to the official Kuwaiti news agency.
Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry announced that it had "captured and destroyed" six drones in the eastern part of the country and another in the north. Meanwhile, the US-based HRANA organization reported that the death toll in Iran since the start of the conflict on February 28 has reached 3,186, including 1,394 civilians and at least 210 children.
