KUWAIT CITY, April 26: The Ministry of Interior on Friday launched a comprehensive security, traffic, and public awareness campaign in the Khaitan area, following directives from Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah.

The operation involved multiple field units from the Ministry, including the General Traffic Department, the General Department of Emergency Police, the Central General Department of Operations, and the Public Security Affairs Sector.
