A key oil facility in Kuwait has been severely damaged following what authorities described as a series of Iranian attacks, according to the state-run Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), citing the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC).

The corporation said emergency response teams acted immediately after the attack, providing necessary medical assistance to the injured and evacuating civilians from the site to ensure their safety.
