National Guard says no radiation detected in country’s airspace, territorial waters

In a reassuring statement to the public, the Kuwait National Guard confirmed on Saturday that no abnormal levels of radiation had been recorded across the country following recent regional military developments.

The announcement, according to Al-Rai, was made by the Moral Guidance Directorate of the National Guard and came amid heightened concerns following U.S. airstrikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.

The statement said, monitoring teams at the Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Center for Chemical Defense and Radiation Monitoring — a key facility tasked with detecting and assessing radiological threats — have not observed any increase in radiation levels in either Kuwait’s airspace or territorial waters.

The statement emphasized that “the situation is normal,” and that the center continues its monitoring activities around the clock as part of its precautionary measures to safeguard public health and environmental safety.

The National Guard reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the homeland and maintaining vigilance in coordination with relevant authorities. It also assured citizens and residents that there is no current cause for concern, as all radiation detection systems are functioning normally and have not recorded any anomalies.

The announcement comes as Gulf nations increase surveillance efforts in the aftermath of regional military operations, particularly in neighboring Iran, where several nuclear facilities were targeted in U.S. airstrikes. The Kuwaiti government remains in a state of precaution, ensuring that all environmental and public safety protocols are observed.
