The police said fireworks pose dangers, not only to the children playing with them but also to the people and property around them.
"There are plenty of sad and tragic stories related to fireworks. Some people ended up with amputated toes and in some other cases, there are people who completely lost their sight," said Brigadier Salem Hamoud Al Bloushi, Director of the Firearms and Explosives Section at the Police's Security and Ports Affairs.

He called on the public to celebrate Eid in a safe manner, without endangering their lives and that of others.
