A fire swept through a building that housed foreign workers in Kuwait early Wednesday, killing at least 41 people. Officials said the blaze appeared to be linked to code violations. Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousuf Al-Sabah confirmed the toll and ordered the arrest of the building’s owner during a visit to the site, local media reported. “We will address the issue of labor overcrowding,” he said.
India’s ambassador to Kuwait, Adarsh Swaika, said over 30 Indian workers injured in the blaze were admitted to a hospital. Swaika shared the information on X but did not specify whether any Indian nationals had died. Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered condolences to the victims and said the Indian Embassy is “closely monitoring the situation and working with the authorities there to assist the affected.” “The fire mishap in Kuwait City is saddening.
