Yemen Monitor / Newsroom:
The Yemeni government expressed its full solidarity with the State of Kuwait on Tuesday following the killing of two members of the Kuwaiti military during the performance of their duties, offering its condolences to the Kuwaiti government and people.
The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a statement that the Republic of Yemen stands by Kuwait against anything that undermines its security and sovereignty, affirming its condemnation of the Iranian attacks that targeted Kuwaiti territory and several Gulf states.
The statement added that these attacks represent a “flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter,” and constitute an escalation that threatens international peace and security, as well as the security of waterways in the region.
The Ministry called for a collective international stance to deter what it described as aggressions and to prevent their recurrence, emphasizing that the security of Kuwait and the Gulf states is directly linked to the security and stability of Yemen amid rising regional tensions.
The Kuwaiti General Staff had mourned Sergeants Walid Majid Suleiman and Abdulaziz Abdulmohsen, members of the Kuwaiti Naval Force, who were martyred on Monday evening while carrying out their national duties within the armed forces.
Earlier on Monday, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense announced the crashing of several U.S. warplanes and the survival of their crews, while the U.S. Central Command suggested that the downing of the three aircraft resulted from friendly fire.
On Monday morning, Kuwait announced the interception of several aerial targets and drones that entered the country’s airspace, resulting in two injuries after missile shrapnel fell on the Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery.
