Kuwait will restrict access to a vast area where its military forces conduct maneuvers with Western troops, mostly Americans, the Defense Ministry said.

Ministry spokesman Brig. Ahmed Rahmani told the official Kuwait News Agency that the area was popular with campers, bird hunters and sheep herders.
