Kuweit Condemns Targeting of East-West Pipeline in Saudi Arabia

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s strong condemnation and denunciation of the targeting of the East-West pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions of the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, carried out by several drones originating from Iraqi territory. This attack resulted in human casualties and material damage, constituting a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty, a breach of international law and international humanitarian law, and a threat to energy supply security. The Ministry stated that, while affirming that these attacks represent a serious escalation that could undermine regional security and stability, it emphasizes the importance of the Iraqi government taking necessary measures to ensure that its territory is not used as a launching point for such attacks, and to work toward halting them and preventing their recurrence.
