The Kuwaiti Ministry of Interior stated in a post on its account on "X": "The State Security Agency managed to thwart a plot for a terrorist operation that targeted (vital facilities) in the state after intensive security monitoring and investigations," explaining that "10 citizens from a terrorist group affiliated with the banned Hezbollah organization were arrested for pre-planning and coordinating with external entities, and seeking to communicate with them to provide them with coordinates of the targeted sites, which poses a direct threat to the security of the country."

The ministry's statement added, "Investigations revealed that the cell members received external training in camps belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which included the use of weapons and handling drones, as part of the preparation to carry out these sabotage operations aimed at undermining the sovereignty of the state, destabilizing it, and instilling fear and terror in society. The accused provided detailed confessions regarding this."

The ministry confirmed that it will deal with the utmost severity with anyone proven to be involved in undermining the security of Kuwait or cooperating with such terrorist groups, and that it will not hesitate to deliver painful strikes against any threat, emphasizing that the security and sovereignty of the State of Kuwait are protected, and that security personnel will continue to track and uncover all those behind these terrorist plots, vowing to impose the harshest penalties and legal measures without leniency or exception against those involved.

It is worth noting that Kuwait had arrested a Hezbollah-affiliated terrorist cell two days ago while they were attempting to destabilize security in the country and recruit individuals to join the terrorist organization. According to the Ministry of Interior's statement, the cell consisted of 14 citizens and 2 individuals of Lebanese nationality, who were planning to target the sovereignty of Kuwait, destabilize its security and stability, and seek to spread chaos and disrupt public order.
