Maybe they are practicing for kuwait national day. If you remember a few years back, they had a few fighter planes flying very low past souq sharq, and all the traffic and celebrations on gulf raod.

The “specially designated air space” you are talking about is all of Kuwait

yeah i heard it in khaldiya and it didnt worry me cuz it was very clear as a jet breaking the sound barrier. we’ve heard those many times before over here >_>
the question is… whose jet was it? kuwaiti or american? and where did that happen? at the borders or over the city? cuz that is used as a method of delivaring messages.

I was driving towards Salmiya on gulf road around 6:50PM and the traffic was diverted. No traffic was allowed on gulf road between 3RD ring towards Salmiyah.
It was a mess!

I know, took me over an hour from Kuwait City to Salmiya. In the morning on my way to work the road towards salmiya was closed because they were working on the road.
