US embassy in Kuwait says ‘do not come to embassy’
KUWAIT: The US embassy in Kuwait said Monday that people should not come to the facility, as an AFP correspondent saw smoke rising from the diplomatic mission on Iran’s third day of retaliatory Gulf attacks.
“There is a continuing threat of missile and UAV attacks over Kuwait. Do not come to the Embassy. Take cover in your residence on the lowest available floor and away from windows. Do not go outside,” the embassy said in a statement.
“US Embassy personnel are sheltering in place,” it added.
