KUWAIT CITY, Jul 12: Kuwait on Sunday strongly condemned what it described as Iranian attacks targeting the country earlier in the day, calling them a grave violation of its sovereignty and a direct threat to its national security.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the attacks as a continuation of a repeated hostile approach, saying they violated Kuwait's sovereignty and territorial integrity, endangered the security and stability of the country, and threatened the safety of its citizens and residents.
The ministry said the attacks also constituted a flagrant breach of international law, the Charter of the United Nations and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
Kuwait warned that the continuation of such attacks represents an extremely dangerous escalation that could further intensify regional tensions, threaten regional peace and security, and undermine diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation and resolving crises through peaceful means.
The ministry reaffirmed that Kuwait's security, sovereignty and territorial integrity are inviolable, adding that the State of Kuwait reserves all its rights to take the necessary measures to protect its security and preserve its sovereignty in accordance with international law and the UN Charter.
The statement comes after the Kuwaiti Armed Forces earlier announced that air defense systems had intercepted hostile aerial targets over Kuwaiti airspace.
