Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) will reinforce security measures at oil installations in co-ordination with the country's interior ministry, a KNPC official spokesman said on Sunday.
"Intensive security plans to protect oil installations and facilities will be supported by the military and taken up after co-ordinating with the Ministry of Interior and its subsidiary bodies," Khaled Al-Asousi was quoted as saying by state news agency Kuna on Sunday. He did not provide further details.
A year ago an Islamic State group suicide bomber killed 27 people when he blew himself up inside a Shi'ite Muslim mosque in Kuwait city, the first attack of its kind in the major oil-exporting state.
