On Saturday, Gulf and Arab foreign ministers denounced yesterday’s drone attack from Iraqi territory targeting Kuwait’s northern border posts, causing material damage but no casualties.

Qatar described the strike as a “flagrant violation” of Kuwait’s sovereignty and a serious threat to regional stability, urging Iraq to prevent a recurrence.

Saudi Arabia stressed the need for Iraq to address threats targeting Gulf countries and warned of risks to regional security, while the United Arab Emirates labeled the assault a “terrorist attack” involving explosive drones.

Bahrain also condemned the incident as a terrorist act, and Egypt reiterated its solidarity with Kuwait and other Gulf states.

Iraq previously described the incident as a “sabotage act,” with caretaker Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordering a specialized committee to investigate, identify those responsible, and pursue legal action.
