Reports of large explosion 60 km away from Kuwait port The master of a tanker reported seeing a large explosion nearby Kuwait's Mubarak al-Kabeer port, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said. "There is oil in the water coming from a cargo tank which could have some environmental impact, the vessel has taken on water, there are no fires reported and the crew are safe," UKMTO noted in an advisory note. Kuwait's interior ministry said in a later statement that the incident occurred outside the country's territorial waters, at least 60 km (37 miles) from the port.
