What happened

Kuwait Petroleum Corporation said multiple drones struck Mina al-Ahmadi for a second consecutive day, starting fires in several refinery units. No casualties or injuries were reported in the initial assessment. Emergency crews responded and several affected units were shut as a precaution; the operator did not report a complete refinery shutdown. This record is separate from the more limited fire reported on 19 March.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
