An American soldier stationed in Kuwait shot and killed himself on Thursday at a US military base in the oil-rich Gulf state, the interior ministry said.
The ministry said in a statement on Twitter that the soldier, who was not named, used his personal gun to kill himself while on duty.
The Pentagon confirmed the death of a US soldier in a "non-combat related incident" in Kuwait, without elaborating.
The interior ministry said the soldier was rushed to a public hospital in southern Kuwait but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Several thousand American soldiers are stationed at Camp Arifjan, a military base about 70 kilometres (43 miles) south of Kuwait City.

It is long forgotten that the whole world disorder was started from Kuwait when some well planned and executed events resulted in the Saddam's attack on Kuwait in 1990 and the US started the first Gulf war to save Kuwait. Every deception has its cost.
