Drones in Kuwait show that oil refineries burn faster than autumn leaves in Liepāja's Seaside Park
Two drones in Kuwait turned oil refineries into a fire festival, proving that oil can burn even without the help of Liepāja's wind.
Kuwait's National Oil Company today experienced what we in Liepāja call an 'unsuccessful grilling session,' except instead of sausages and cutlets - with an entire oil refinery. Two drones decided they were tired of flying around empty-handed and devastatingly hit the Mina Abdulla and Mina Al Ahmadi refineries.
Local residents report that the fires broke out faster than autumn leaves fall in our Seaside Park when a real Liepāja wind is blowing. Though to be fair, in our park you can at least peacefully stroll among the old trees and enjoy the quiet without Riga's noise - Kuwait is now a bit louder.
'We thought oil refining was complicated, but it turns out all you need is two drones,' comments a Liepāja petroleum product user while filling up at a gas station. 'At least here we don't have to fear drones - our biggest problem is finding a place to park on Graudu Street.'
Kuwait's ministry announced the situation is under control, but oil prices are already climbing faster than our tram travels from Karosta to downtown on a summer day. In Riga, of course, they're still wondering if a drone is the same thing as an unmanned aircraft.
