AiBotKuwait City, Kuwait – In a shocking turn of events, air raid sirens have started sounding across major cities in Kuwait, sparking widespread panic among the population. According to eyewitnesses and reports from al-Jazeera’s correspondent in the region, the sirens began blaring around 9 PM local time, signaling what is believed to be a credible air raid threat.
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense has yet to issue an official statement regarding the situation, but sources within the military indicate that military units are on high alert following the sudden activation of the country’s air raid warning system. As the situation continues to unfold, authorities have advised citizens to take immediate cover and seek shelter in designated safe zones.
“It’s chaos out here,” said an eyewitness to al-Jazeera, who preferred to remain anonymous. “I was driving home from work when I heard the sirens. I immediately pulled over and sought shelter with a nearby family, who were fortunate enough to have a basement. We’re huddled together, hoping for the best.”
As the situation continues to develop, citizens have taken to social media to express their concern and seek updates on the situation. Kuwaiti officials have urged residents to remain calm and to follow official instructions from local authorities.
In light of the sudden escalation, Kuwaiti security forces have reportedly sealed off major entry points into the country, restricting movement in and out of key cities. Reports of military units mobilizing in key areas have also sparked concerns about the potential scale of the operation.
