The government of Kuwait issued a strong condemnation of Iran following an attack that reportedly struck Kuwait International Airport, causing casualties and damage to critical infrastructure.
In a statement released by the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kuwaiti officials denounced what they described as “brutal and ongoing Iranian attacks” carried out using ballistic missiles and drones. The statement said the latest attack occurred during the early morning hours and targeted civilian and vital facilities across the country.
According to the ministry, Kuwait International Airport was among the locations hit. Officials reported that one person was killed, several others were injured, and significant damage was inflicted on important facilities, including diplomatic missions.
“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 statement declared.
Additional details were provided by Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense. A spokesperson indicated that a building at Kuwait International Airport sustained damage during the attack and that multiple individuals were injured. The information was shared through an official statement distributed by Kuwait Army General Staff Headquarters.
The incident marks a serious escalation in regional tensions and highlights the growing concerns among U.S. allies in the Middle East regarding Iran’s military actions. An attack on civilian infrastructure, particularly an international airport, raises significant questions about ongoing negotiations to end the war
Kuwait has long maintained close strategic ties with the United States, making its forceful condemnation particularly noteworthy. The government's statement leaves little doubt about how Kuwaiti leaders view the source of the attacks and the threat they believe those actions pose to regional stability.
As authorities continue assessing the damage and investigating the full impact of the strike, Kuwait's response underscores the seriousness of the situation and the determination of the country to defend its people, infrastructure, and national sovereignty in the face of ongoing threats.
