KUWAIT: Damaged equipment inside a power transformer room where a fire was reported in Salwa.

KUWAIT: Egyptian engineer Mohammad Obaid died yesterday morning due to injuries he sustained following an explosion at a power transformer in Salwa three days earlier. His Egyptian colleague remains in ICU. The two victims work for a company that has a contract with the Ministry of Electricity and Water, and were performing maintenance work on the transformers. A source said a spark in the switchboard caused the blast. - Meshaal Al-Enezi
