Kuwait condemns ongoing Houthi attacks on Saudi civilian areas

The continuation, and escalation, of these "terrorist attacks," in spite of a globally-backed initiative launched by Riyadh to end the war in Yemen, "reflects the dangers of the Houthi militia's approach and its rejection of peace," read a ministry statement.

Kuwait added that this also illustrates the group's refusal of international humanitarian law and its reluctance to end the war in Yemen.

The Houthis insist on endangering Saudi Arabia's security and undermining the stability of the region as a whole, threatening global energy supplies and the safety of international maritime navigation, said the ministry.

"This requires prompt and decisive international action, to deter and put an end to these actions," it said.

Kuwait underlined that it extends its full support to Saudi Arabia and backing of all measures Riyadh takes to preserve security, stability and sovereignty.
