Kuwait’s Ministry of Finance has activated its national emergency plan following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, opening fully equipped shelters for government employees as a precautionary measure.
According to Kuwaiti daily Al-Jarida, the ministry has implemented a series of comprehensive protective measures to ensure the continuity of financial and public services in the event of regional escalation.
Among the key actions taken is the readiness of civil defense shelters within the Government Complex building, with the capacity to accommodate up to 900 personnel. The shelters are rated C4 and are reportedly in excellent operational condition.
In addition, contingency storage areas have been designated for emergency use, and financial systems have been migrated to backup platforms to ensure uninterrupted operations.
The ministry has also enabled secure remote working capabilities through specialized cybersecurity programs to safeguard digital infrastructure.
The emergency preparations were triggered in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Sunday that American forces had conducted airstrikes that destroyed three nuclear facilities in Iran.
The president warned that further military action could follow unless Tehran seeks a peaceful resolution to ongoing tensions.
