One of Iran's unmanned aerial vehicle attacks targeted Kuwait's energy infrastructure. The attack resulted in damage to the country's oil industry facility and one worker was wounded.

According to Kuwaiti officials, during the attack a drilling platform belonging to Kuwait Oil Company located offshore was struck. The incident caused material damage to the platform, and one worker was injured.

Some regional media outlets claimed that the Iranian-made "Shahed-136" kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle was used in the attack, but this information has not yet been confirmed by Kuwaiti officials or major international news agencies.

The incident occurred against the backdrop of ongoing confrontation between Iran and the United States. Tehran has disclosed that it targeted U.S. military facilities located in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Jordan with missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Regional countries stated that they are closely monitoring the situation and have strengthened security measures at energy facilities.
