Iran launches drone strike on Kuwait's Mina Al-Fahmid refinery sparking fire

Iranian drones struck the critical oil facility at Rafina in northern Iraq, igniting a massive blaze that engulfed key infrastructure near Baghdad International Airport as of Wednesday morning (Mar 20). The attack caused significant damage to storage tanks within Iran itself while simultaneously triggering an explosion inside Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery. Authorities confirmed multiple fires and structural failures resulting from the coordinated assault on both sites, highlighting a direct escalation in regional tensions involving major energy hubs across Iraq and Kuwait.
