Tragic Blaze Claims 35 Lives in Kuwait's Mangaf District

A devastating fire in Kuwait's Mangaf district led to the deaths of at least 35 people and injured 15 more. Authorities have brought the fire under control and are investigating the cause. This tragic event marks another severe fire incident in Kuwait, following a deadly refinery fire in 2022.

A devastating fire early Wednesday morning in Kuwait's Mangaf district resulted in the deaths of at least 35 people, the state-run news agency KUNA reported.

Authorities confirmed that another 15 people were injured in the blaze, which has since been brought under control. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause, according to Maj. Gen. Eid al-Oweihan, head of forensic evidence at the Interior Ministry.

Kuwait, with a population of 4.2 million and the world's sixth-largest known oil reserves, has previously experienced significant fire incidents. A fire at an oil refinery in 2022 claimed four lives.
