Covert tanker operations have moved oil out of Kuwait despite a two-month export freeze, according to a post by Bakr on X. The shipments produced a significant inventory draw at Mina Al Ahmadi. Operators conducted the movements through dark transits that avoided detection by regional maritime blockades.

Kuwait had halted exports for two months before the reported shipments began. The post by Bakr stated that the covert operations directly bypassed those restrictions. @financialjuice reported the statements from Bakr on X describing the tanker movements and inventory change at the Kuwaiti terminal.
