At least five people were killed and 15 others were injured when two buses collided north of the country Thursday night, the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) said.

The operation room received a report on a horrific crash that led to a fire on the two buses, KFF's public relations and media department added in a statement.

A firefighting team from Jahra rushed to the site and extinguished the fire, it noted, indicating that one of the buses belongs to a logistic service company.

All passengers inside the two buses were evacuated, and the wounded were admitted to hospitals by ambulances, it made clear. /agencies
