Khaleej Times, 12 March 2026: Kuwait has imposed a temporary ban on Eid Al Fitr gatherings, weddings, concerts and theatre events as a precaution amid heightened regional security tensions.

The Ministry of Interior announced that all public celebrations including plays, concerts, parties and wedding events are prohibited until further notice. The decision aims to limit large gatherings and reduce security risks linked to the current domestic and regional situation following Iran’s recent attacks.

Authorities said the restrictions are intended to enhance public safety, ensure readiness to respond to potential emergencies and support the stability of the country during what it described as a “sensitive period.”

The ministry urged citizens and residents to cooperate fully, warning that violations will result in legal action. It also called on the public to demonstrate national responsibility and prioritise the wider public interest.
