Kuwait’s state-run Petroleum Corporation reports that fires have broken out and there is “severe material damage” at some operating units after Iranian drone attacks on energy facilities.

KPC says in a statement that teams are 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.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claims responsibility for attacks on petrochemical plants in Kuwait, as well as the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
