RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned flagrant Iranian aggression and blatant violation of the sovereignty of Bahrain and Kuwait.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Wednesday also slammed the targeting of Kuwait International Airport and several vital facilities, which resulted in the death of one person and injuries to others.
The Kingdom reiterated its categorical rejection of these assaults that undermine the sovereignty of brotherly Gulf states, constituting a clear violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and affirms that such violations jeopardize international efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in the region.

Saudi Arabia also reaffirmed its solidarity with Bahrain and Kuwait and its full support for all measures they take to preserve their sovereignty, security, and stability. The Kingdom extended its condolences to the Kuwait and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
Earlier, Kuwait said it detected 30 ballistic missiles and drones launched as part of a “heinous Iranian aggression”.
“Since dawn today, the armed forces have detected and engaged 13 hostile ballistic missiles within Kuwaiti airspace. These missiles were intercepted over several residential areas, resulting in some debris falling. The armed forces also detected and engaged 17 hostile drones. This heinous Iranian aggression targeted civilian and vital facilities,” defence ministry spokesman Saud Abdulaziz al-Atwan said.
The attacks marked one of the more severe tests yet of a April 8 ceasefire, which has largely held despite sporadic strikes after more than a month of war sparked by the US and Israeli attack on Iran.
The oil-rich Gulf nation, a US ally, has been on the receiving end of Iranian attacks since the United States and Israel attacked Iran and killed its senior leadership in late February.
Tehran has accused Kuwait of allowing US forces to launch strikes from its soil.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said the attacks targeting US bases in Kuwait were launched in response to what it described as an American strike on Qeshm Island in southern Iran.
