The Day Kuwait's Sky Turned Black 🤯 #shorts

In 1991, during the Gulf War, retreating Iraqi forces under Saddam Hussein deliberately set fire to hundreds of Kuwait's oil wells, creating one of the most devastating environmental disasters in modern history. 🔥🌍 More than 600 oil wells burned for months, sending enormous clouds of thick black smoke into the atmosphere. The fires darkened the skies, turned daylight into an eerie darkness, and consumed an estimated 4–6 million barrels of oil per day at their peak. Firefighting teams from around the world worked tirelessly to extinguish the flames, with the final well fires brought under control in November 1991. A haunting reminder of the environmental destruction caused by war. Subscribe to Fact Verse for incredible historical events, unbelievable facts, and stories that shaped our world.
