KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: Security personnel and detectives from Abdali conducted a successful raid on an illegal liquor factory located in a remote desert area of Abdali, arresting six Asian nationals who were operating the facility.

According to a security source, the operation followed a period of close surveillance and investigation after authorities received information about the illicit activity. During the raid, officers discovered a large number of barrels used in the distillation process, along with various tools, equipment, and materials used in the production of alcohol. Additionally, numerous bottles of locally made liquor, already filled and prepared for sale, were seized from the site.
