Mina Al-Ahmadi, one of three oil refineries in Kuwait and processes some 730,000 barrels of oil per day, was also hit on Thursday, sparking fires.
On Wednesday, Iran reportedly carried out drone and missile attacks on major energy hubs in Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike against the Pars gas field, which is shared with Qatar and draws on the world's biggest known gas reserve and is vital for domestic supplies.
The Kuwait Petroleum Corp. said it shut down the Mina Al-Ahmadi units affected by the attack.
