Kuwait condemns Houthi missile attack attempt on Riyadh

Kuwait has publicly condemned the Houthi militia's missile attack aimed at Riyadh, along with other assaults targeting civilians in multiple Saudi cities. The Houthi group's attempt to strike Riyadh with a ballistic missile, as well as its targeting of civilians in Bish, Taif, Farasan, and Yanbu, have been strongly denounced. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Saturday, asserting that these hostile actions violate Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and contravene international law and humanitarian principles.

The ministry commended the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces for their prompt interception of these shameful and cowardly attacks. Kuwait reaffirmed its unwavering support for Saudi Arabia, pledging full solidarity with the Kingdom and backing all measures taken to protect its sovereignty, security, and the well-being of its citizens and residents.

The statement emphasized that the security of Saudi Arabia is intrinsically linked to the security of Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council nations.
