Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi has condemned what he described as Iranian attacks on civilian facilities in Kuwait, saying they represent “a continuation of its hostile approach to destabilising security and stability in the region”, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, Albudaiwi said the attacks targeted a government facility and civilian vehicles belonging to a private company on Bubiyan Island.

He described them as “a blatant aggression and flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait” and “a direct threat to its security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents”.

The GCC chief also reaffirmed the bloc’s “full solidarity” with Kuwait and its support for all measures taken to protect the country’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
