The foreign ministries of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have both issued statements condemning a recent drone attack on Kuwaiti border posts that originated from Iraq, according to Al Jazeera.

Bahrain expressed “full solidarity” with Kuwait and support for “all measures taken to preserve its security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity”.

It also stressed the importance of Iraq’s government taking “immediate and decisive action to hold all those involved in these acts of aggression accountable and ensure they are not repeated”.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry expressed its “strongest condemnation” of the drone attacks and called on Iraq’s government to respond to “these threats to the Gulf states”.
