Kuwait has strongly condemned an attack by the Houthi militia on King Fahd International Airport in the Saudi city of Dammam. The attack killed two people and injured others.

Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the state's "strong condemnation and denunciation" of what it called a "blatant attack." The ministry described the attack as a flagrant violation of the Kingdom's sovereignty and a clear breach of international law and international humanitarian law.

The ministry said the continued targeting of civilian airports and vital facilities amounted to a serious escalation. It added that such attacks posed a direct threat to civilian lives and to the safety of air navigation. It called for a firm international stance to halt the attacks and to hold those responsible to account.

The ministry reaffirmed Kuwait's "absolute solidarity" with Saudi Arabia. It said Kuwait stands fully behind the Kingdom in all measures it takes to protect its security and stability and to safeguard its sovereignty. It stressed that Saudi Arabia's security is an integral part of the security of Kuwait and of the Gulf Cooperation Council states.

The ministry extended Kuwait's sincere condolences to the government and people of Saudi Arabia and to the families of the two victims. It also wished the injured a speedy recovery.
