DUBAI: Kuwait's oil exports have not been affected by a strike launched on Sunday by energy sector workers, oil sector spokesman Sheikh Talal al-Khaled al-Sabah said in a statement on state-news agency KUNA.

He was speaking after thousands of Kuwaiti oil and gas workers began a strike over a government plan to implement public sector pay reforms. State energy conglomerate Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries have emergency plans for the oil sector, he said, and that the strike had not affected export to clients.
