ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Several regional countries on Saturday condemned drone attacks on Kuwait which originated from Iraqi territory a day earlier, coming as regional states have increasingly voiced their frustration over attacks emanating from within Iraq's borders.

On Friday, Kuwait's defense ministry announced that two of its border sites were attacked by two drones originating from Iraq.

Iraqi Interior Minister Abdul Amir al-Shammari on Friday held a phone call with his Kuwaiti counterpart Fahad Yousef al-Sabah where he strongly condemned the attacks, adding that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani had ordered an investigative committee to identify the perpetrators.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack as of writing this article.

In separate statements on Saturday, Syria and Qatar on Saturday called the attack a “blatant” violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty and a threat to the region’s stability.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses the need for Iraq to assume its responsibilities to prevent the recurrence of such attacks,” read the Qatari foreign ministry statement.

Syria “affirms its full solidarity with the sisterly State of Kuwait in the face of these attacks, and calls for taking the necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such acts, and to hold those responsible accountable in order to ensure the strengthening of security and stability in the region,” according to a statement from the foreign ministry.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had also announced their condemnation of the attacks on Friday, expressing support for Kuwait’s sovereignty.

Since the US-Israel war with Iran started in late February, Iraq has been the only country to see attacks carried out on its soil from both sides of the conflict.

In late March, Kuwait joined Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan in a joint statement condemning strikes attributed to Iran-aligned factions in Iraq against neighboring countries and infrastructure, urging Baghdad to immediately stop attacks launched from its territory.

Iraq’s foreign ministry later denounced any attacks on Gulf states and said the security of Arab countries is part of Iraq’s national security, and that preserving regional stability represents a shared interest of all the nations.

Earlier in April, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry summoned Iraq’s ambassador, Safia Taleb al-Suhail, and delivered a formal protest letter over attacks targeting the Kingdom and other Gulf states.

Kurdish authorities have also repeatedly called on Baghdad to rein the Iran-aligned groups in, accusing the federal government of inaction against the groups responsible while attacks on the Kurdistan Region continue despite a shaky ceasefire between the US and Iran.
