KUWAIT: Firefighters located and retrieved the dead body of a man who went missing while swimming at Al-Khairan waters, Kuwait Fire Service Directorate (KFSD) said on Friday. The victim’s body was found following a 23-hour search operation, which started after KFSD operators had received a report Thursday about an 18-year-old citizen who went missing while swimming off Sabah Al-Ahmad Sea City’s beach.

In a separate case, KFSD announced that a construction worker sustained serious injuries when he slipped and fell from a high place. The Asian worker fell from the second floor of a house in Qortoba, it said, noting that an investigation was opened into the case.
