Kuwait Petroleum Corp reports damage at units after Iran drone attacks

Iranian drone attacks hit various targets in Kuwait on Sunday, with state energy company Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) reporting fires and "severe material damage" at some operating units.

KPC said in a statement that teams were working to contain the fires at affiliates Petrochemical Industries Company and National Petroleum Company.

In a separate incident, KPC earlier said a fire broke out in its Shuwaikh oil sector complex, which houses the oil ministry and KPC headquarters, after a drone attack.

Kuwaiti state media, citing the finance ministry, said an Iranian drone hit an office complex for government ministries, causing significant material damage but no casualties.

The fires at oil sector and ministry complexes have since been brought under control, Kuwait said later in the day.

Two power generation units were also taken out of service after Iranian drones targeted two power and water desalination plants, causing significant damage, Kuwait's electricity and water ministry said.

No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

Kuwait's Ministry of Finance also reported significant material damage following a drone attack on its ministries complex late Saturday, with no injuries reported.

The ministry added that complex employees were requested to work remotely on Sunday and to postpone any visitor request.
