Flights disrupted in oil-rich Kuwait

Flights to the small, oil-rich country of Kuwait were disrupted Saturday under unclear circumstances. Local media in Kuwait reported the disruption, blaming "technical issues." The state-run KUNA news agency and state television did not immediately acknowledge the issue.

Flight-tracking data showed some flights turning away from the country, while others on the ground showed their takeoffs delayed.

Kuwait International Airport outside of Kuwait City is the country's main airport.
