In a statement, the Foreign Ministry affirmed that these attacks, which targeted airport facilities and a Saudi Arabian Airlines aircraft, resulted in the martyrdom of several Saudi citizens, injured residents of various nationalities, and caused material damage.

It reiterated Kuwait’s absolute solidarity with the neighboring Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures undertaken to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and the protection of its citizens and residents on its territory. It further affirmed that the security of the Kingdom is an integral part of Kuwait’s security and the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

Kuwait also expressed its sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government, and people, as well as to the families of the martyrs, while wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
