Early Wednesday, a devastating fire broke out in a building in Kuwait, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 41 lives. The incident occurred in the southern Mangaf district, where the building was being used to house workers. The cause of the fire is believed to be linked to code violations, according to officials.

Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousuf Al-Sabah visited the site and confirmed the death toll. He also took immediate action by ordering the arrest of the building's owner. The workers residing in the building at the time of the fire were not identified by nationality.
