Kuwait to test emergency warning siren on Monday as monthly checks begin

In the press note, it added that these checks will be performed regularly, on the first Monday of every month, at 10am

Kuwait will be regularly testing its warning sirens, the nation's Ministry of Interior said on Wednesday.

The first test, it said, will be conducted on Monday, January 19, at 10am. The authority emphasised that this is routine and a precautionary measure.

In the press note, it added that these checks will be performed regularly, on the first Monday of every month — at 10am.

In 2025, amid rising regional tensions, Kuwait's finance ministry said it set up shelters in the country's ministries complex.

In a statement on X, the ministry said that shelters can accommodate around 900 people, following US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
