Radio Kuwait (start of Iraqi invasion): August 2, 1990

"Recording of Radio Kuwait during the start of the invasion by Iraq. My understanding is that the broadcast originated from the Radio Kuwait transmitter site, which had not yet been occupied by Iraqi forces. Transmission consisted of music and announcements in Arabic."

Recorded by Tom Gavaras, courtesy of the Shortwave Radio Archive.
