DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Flights to the small, oil-rich country of Kuwait were briefly disrupted Saturday under unclear circumstances.
Local media in Kuwait reported the disruption, blaming “technical issues.” The state-run KUNA news agency and state television did not immediately acknowledge the issue, which came after rains swept across the Gulf Arab nation.
Flight-tracking data showed some flights turning away from the country, while others on the ground showed their takeoffs delayed. The flights later began taking off around 0800 GMT.
