Kuwaiti authorities also reported a fire at the Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex, which houses the oil ministry and KPC headquarters.
The blaze was triggered by a drone strike, according to the state news agency.

Iran targeting Gulf states
The attacks extended beyond Kuwait, with neighbouring Gulf countries also reporting damage to energy facilities.
In Bahrain, Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co said several of its operational units were targeted by Iranian drones.
Earlier, Bapco Energies reported that an oil tank at one of its storage facilities had been hit.
Bahraini authorities said fires caused by both incidents were brought under control and extinguished.
No casualties were reported, and damage assessments were under way.
The Ministry of Interior said civil defence teams had “extinguished a fire in the facility” caused “as a result of the Iranian aggression”.
The statement came shortly after the country activated air raid sirens.
