After targeting Riyadh... Kuwait declares its solidarity with Saudi Arabia and condemns the Houthi attacks

On Sunday, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the continued attacks launched by the Yemeni Houthi group on areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its attempts to target civilian objects and vital installations, the latest of which was the launching of two ballistic missiles towards the capital, Riyadh.

The Ministry said, in a statement, that the State of Kuwait expresses its “strong condemnation and denunciation of the continued terrorist attacks launched by the Houthi militia on a number of regions in the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” considering that these attacks represent “a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty, and a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.”

The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry affirmed "the State of Kuwait's categorical rejection of these shameful and cowardly attacks," noting that they constitute "a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to the lives of civilians, and undermine the stability of the region."

The Ministry reiterated Kuwait's "absolute" solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its support for it in "all measures it takes to preserve its sovereignty and preserve its security and stability."

The statement stressed that "the Kingdom's security is an integral part of the security of the State of Kuwait and the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries."

A missile targeted a multi-storey building belonging to the giant oil company Aramco in the financial district of the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Sunday, according to the testimonies of a number of witnesses and video clips that were geographically located.

The announcement of the strike that targeted the King Abdullah Financial Center came after the Saudi Civil Defense issued an early alert about a potential threat to the region.

For its part, the Saudi Ministry of Energy announced, on Sunday, that one of the administrative buildings belonging to Aramco was subjected to a targeting attempt, which resulted in shrapnel falling on the building and causing limited damage to it, without any injuries or deaths recorded.
