Kuwait's government resigned on Tuesday, just months after its formation as Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khaled Al Hamad Al Sabah submitted the cabinet's resignation to the crown prince, state-run KUNA news agency reported.

It marks Kuwait's third collective government resignation in the past year and a half.

A host of new faces had been appointed to ministerial posts as recently as December.

Cabinet's resignation comes after the defence and interior ministers submitted their resignations earlier this year.
