Kuwait’s National Guard and Ministry of Health have reassured citizens and residents that the country’s radiological and chemical environment remains normal and safe, despite regional developments. Officials confirmed that no abnormal readings have been detected in air, soil, or seawater.
Lieutenant Colonel Khaled Lami from the National Guard explained that an advanced monitoring system has been operating uninterrupted since 2015. This system includes 29 land-based stations across border areas, cities, and islands, as well as 15 marine stations strategically positioned in Kuwait’s territorial waters. These stations operate around the clock, providing continuous data to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Lami emphasized that monitoring is a standard, ongoing procedure and not linked solely to emergency events. He also highlighted close cooperation with other state agencies through the Weapons of Mass Destruction Defense Cell to enhance national safety.
Dr. Munther Al-Hasawi, Assistant Undersecretary for Public Health Affairs, confirmed that the Ministry of Health operates a robust radiation monitoring network with fixed and mobile stations, supported by a specialized laboratory. He assured the public that all current readings are within safe limits and that the strategic stockpile of medical supplies is fully equipped to handle any potential radiological or chemical incident.
This integrated system and inter-agency collaboration reflect Kuwait’s strong commitment to safeguarding the environment and public health at all times.
