Kuwait Denies Terror Rumours and Clarifies Travel Rules
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior has officially dismissed recent social media speculation claiming that a terrorist cell had been discovered within the country. Officials clarified that these reports are entirely baseless and did not originate from any credible source. The ministry emphasized its commitment to transparency, noting that any legitimate security threats or incidents are always communicated through formal government channels in line with established legal protocols. Authorities have warned the public against spreading or believing unverified information, reminding citizens that sharing false reports could lead to legal consequences.
In addition to addressing national security concerns, the ministry also cleared up confusion regarding travel restrictions for motorists. Contrary to viral rumours, vehicles are not banned from crossing borders simply due to unpaid traffic fines. The only vehicles currently restricted from leaving the country are those under judicial seizure or those with expired insurance policies. While Kuwaiti citizens are exempt from paying traffic fines prior to departure, expatriates are still required to settle any outstanding violations before exiting the nation. The ministry continues to urge the public to rely solely on official state accounts for accurate news and updates.
