KUWAIT CITY, May 8: Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior said security authorities carried out a field campaign in the Mahboula area on Friday, leading to the closure of three illegal makeshift stalls and the arrest of 10 individuals operating them.

The campaign was conducted by the Ahmadi Governorate Criminal Investigation Department’s Fintas Investigation Office as part of ongoing efforts to combat violations and strengthen security control across the country.
