KUWAIT: Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, conducted an emergency evacuation drill at its main headquarters in Shuwaikh. The drill was held in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior's General Department for Civil Defense and witnessed the participation of all Zain employees operating in the company's three main buildings.
