Kuwait Oil Company said on Sunday it is dealing with a "limited fire" that erupted at a well where oil leaked last week.

The company said in a statement that no injuries had been reported at the scene.

"The company's operations in the area have not been affected," the statement read.

Kuwait Oil Company declared a state of emergency last Monday due to an oil leak in the west of the country.
