Kuwait condemns drone attacks targeting Saudi oil facilities

Published Updated

Kuwait has denounced attempted strikes on petroleum facilities in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Region and Riyadh, Al Jazeera reports.

The drones, launched by Iran-aligned militias in Iraq, are a “flagrant violation” of Saudi sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a breach of international law, the UN Charter and Security Council Resolution 2817, the foreign ministry says in a statement.

Kuwait reaffirms its full solidarity with Riyadh, saying Saudi Arabia’s security is “an inseparable part” of Kuwait’s own security and that of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
