Kuwait's overall security situation is stable, under control, and unaffected by the ongoing events in South Iraq, the Kuwaiti army announced Saturday

The incidents that are currently taking place nearby Kuwait's northern borders with Iraq are interior affairs of a neighboring country, the army said in a press statement.

The recent actions carried out by the Kuwaiti army in cooperation with security bodies in the country are merely precautionary measures, added the statement.

The Chief of the General Staff of Kuwait's Army Lieutenant-General Mohammad Al-Khudher, accompanied by a number of military and security leaderships in the country, has inspected the northern area to check on the Kuwaiti forces and the precautionary procedures, it noted.
