“On August 23, 2026, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior detained 36 wanted persons and other violators during a security campaign in the Riggae area of Kuwait.”
The reported operation, location, date, and detention count are consistently supported. Kuwaiti news outlets and KUNA-linked reports state that the Ministry of Interior detained 36 wanted persons and other violators during an August 23 security campaign in Riggae. Larger arrest figures cited elsewhere refer to separate or combined campaigns.
