Kuwait’s state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation reported on Sunday, July 19, 2026, that one of its key oil facilities suffered significant material damage and multiple worker injuries after being hit in a series of Iranian missile and drone attacks. The facility was promptly evacuated, and emergency teams provided on-site medical assistance, according to the Kuwait News Agency. Authorities withheld the site’s exact location for security reasons. The attack formed part of a wider bombardment of Kuwaiti infrastructure, including an earlier Iranian strike on a major power generation and desalination plant, heightening concerns over energy supplies and regional shipping routes amid escalating US-Iran hostilities.
