KUWAIT CITY, June 14: In line with the directives of His Excellency the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, the Ministry of Interior conducted a large-scale security and traffic operation in the Khaitan area at dawn on Thursday.

The campaign, spearheaded by the Traffic and Operations Affairs Sector in coordination with the Public Security Affairs Sector, aimed to apprehend violators, enforce the law, and strengthen road safety measures. The operation saw a broad deployment of security and traffic patrols throughout the district, accompanied by thorough inspection and regulatory procedures.

The intensified campaign resulted in a series of notable outcomes:

The Ministry of Interior reaffirmed its dedication to applying the law equally to all and emphasized that such security and traffic campaigns will continue in order to maintain the safety and well-being of citizens and residents across Kuwait.

The ministry also expressed its appreciation for the public’s cooperation and called on everyone to report any suspicious or unlawful activity through the emergency hotline (112).

KUWAIT CITY, June 11: In a significant blow to drug trafficking operations, Kuwait’s Criminal Security Sector, through the General Department for Drug Control, has seized approximately 200 kilograms of shabu (methamphetamine) in the Riggae area. The narcotics, valued at over 1.5 million Kuwaiti dinars, were found in the possession of an Iranian national who allegedly intended to distribute them across the country.

This major operation was carried out in line with directives from His Excellency the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah. The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to combat drug-related crimes, dismantle trafficking networks, and safeguard public health and security.

The operation was launched after anti-narcotics authorities received precise intelligence indicating the suspect’s involvement in drug distribution. Following legal procedures, the suspect was apprehended in Al-Raqi, where a large cache of narcotics was recovered.

Further investigations revealed that the accused had rented two vehicles—one for delivering narcotics to various locations and another, parked in a dirt lot in the Al-Raqqa area, used as a mobile storage unit. Authorities also discovered that the suspect was acting on instructions received from contacts outside the country.

The suspect and the confiscated drugs have been referred to the competent authorities for further legal action.

The General Department for Drug Control, under the continued supervision of Sheikh Fahd Al-Sabah, reaffirmed its commitment to intensifying efforts against drug trafficking. The department emphasized that it will relentlessly pursue anyone who threatens the nation’s security by engaging in the import, distribution, or sale of narcotics.

KUWAIT CITY, Jun 11: The Family Court has granted a Kuwaiti woman a divorce from her husband on the grounds of assault, verbal abuse, and failure to provide financial support. The court also ruled to preserve all her legal rights arising from the divorce.

The decision followed arguments presented by her lawyer, Mohammed Safar, who successfully demonstrated that his client had endured mistreatment that made the continuation of the marriage untenable. Safar told the court that the husband repeatedly insulted his client, attributing false and offensive characteristics to her, and failed to meet his legal and Sharia obligations by neglecting to support both his wife and their children.

The court accepted the evidence and concluded that the woman had suffered significant harm, justifying the dissolution of the marriage.
