Two individuals sustained injuries in separate dog attacks in Kuwait. The first victim, a government employee employed by the Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources, was mauled by a pack of stray dogs while performing his duties at work. He suffered injuries across his body and was taken to Farwaniya Hospital for treatment. The Interior Minister, Sheikh Fahad Al Yousef Al Sabah, visited the injured employee and was informed of his condition.
A second incident involved a Kuwaiti woman who was attacked by a dog as she entered her residence. She sustained multiple injuries and was transported to Al Amiri Hospital for medical attention. Security personnel responded to both incidents after receiving reports. The Interior Ministry confirmed that the dog in each case belonged to an individual and registered cases of negligence in animal care and accidental injury. Legal proceedings are currently underway in both instances.
The ministry advised citizens to remain vigilant and report any gatherings of stray dogs or potential safety threats by contacting emergency services at number 112, providing precise location information to ensure prompt assistance. Kuwait has recently banned the commercial import of dogs and cats due to the increasing stray population.
