Kuwait’s foreign ministry has said one person was killed as a result of the drone and missile strikes that targeted “civilian and vital facilities, including Kuwait International Airport”.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the State of Kuwait’s condemnation and denunciation, in the strongest terms, of the brutal and ongoing Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones, the latest of which occurred at dawn today, targeting once again civilian and vital facilities, including Kuwait International Airport, resulting in the death of one individual, injuries to others, and damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions,” the ministry said in a statement.

It stressed that the “security of the State of Kuwait, its sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory are a red line that cannot be crossed, affirming that the repetition of these aggressions represents an organised aggressive approach, which the State of Kuwait will neither accept nor tolerate”.

Kuwait affirmed it reserved “its full and inherent right to take appropriate measures in response to these heinous and repeated Iranian aggressions, in accordance with international law”.
