Kuwait strongly condemns attacks on ships – Statement

Kuwait on Monday voiced “strong” condemnation” of vandalism acts that targeted four ships near the UAE regional waters late Sunday.

A source at the Ministry of Foreign affairs, in a statement, branded the act as “criminal”, as it is seen as escalation in the region; jeopardizing its safety, as well as the one of maritime traffic and the overall world trade and energy supply.

Such act must be internationally encountered in a swift manner in order to limit its reoccurrence, the source said in a statement.

Kuwait reaffirms its supportive stance with the UAE to secure its stability and maintain its sovereignty, concluded the statement.
