Kuwait conducted military funeral services Monday for two interior ministry officials who died while on duty Sunday morning. The deaths occurred as the nation faces ongoing threats from Iranian drone and missile attacks amid the broader Middle East conflict.
On Monday, Kuwait conducted military funeral ceremonies honoring two interior ministry personnel who lost their lives “in the line of duty,” according to government officials.
The Gulf nation, which houses American military bases and has experienced Iranian drone and missile attacks during Tehran’s ongoing conflict with Israel and the United States, reported that both men perished early Sunday morning without providing additional specifics about the circumstances.
Kuwait’s military forces confirmed separately that regions close to the country’s international airport came under attack Sunday, with their units successfully stopping incoming missiles and unmanned aircraft.
Sunday’s statement from the Interior Ministry expressed grief for “the martyrs of duty, Lieutenant Colonel Staff Abdullah Emad Al-Sharrah and Major Fahad Abdulaziz Al-Mejmed, from the General Administration of Land Border Security, who were martyred at dawn.”
The ceremonial service took place at Sulaibikhat Cemetery, with First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah presiding alongside other high-ranking officials.
Government sources report that the ongoing Iranian crisis has claimed five lives total, including four service members and one young girl, while injuring dozens more.
