Flights have been temporarily suspended at Kuwait International Airport due to a severe dust storm, which has blanketed the country.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said commercial flights have been rescheduled because of current weather patterns and air traffic will only resume normally once the dust storm subsides.

Kuwait's Ministry of Interior warned of poor visibility on the roads and called on everyone to exercise caution.
