Cabinet condemns launch of missiles on Saudi Arabia, attacks in Egypt, Iraq

KUWAIT, May 21 (KUNA) -- The Kuwaiti cabinet on Monday strongly condemned the Houthi militia's recent launch of ballistic missiles on southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait. The missiles were successfully intercepted by the Royal Saudi Air Force.
During a routine meeting held Monday at Seif Palace and chaired by His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, the cabinet said the vicious aggression by the Houthis targeting the Kingdom's security and stability demonstrates the group is not serious in responding to the international efforts seeking an end to the conflict in Yemen.
The ministers reaffirmed Kuwait's support to Saudi Arabia and whatever measures the Kingdom might take to maintain its security and stability, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Anas Al-Saleh said after the meeting.
They also prayed for perpetual security and safety for the Kingdom under the wise leadership of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
By the same token, the cabinet condemned the recent suicide attacks that hit northern Baghdad, killing and wounding many innocent people. It reiterated Kuwait's firm stance in rejection of all forms and motives of terrorism, Al-Saleh added.
In addition, the cabinet condemned the act of terrorism that recently killed a police officer in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, when a bomb hit a military armored vehicle, reaffirming Kuwait's support to Egypt and whatever moves it might take to protect its security and stability.
The cabinet deplored the recent school shooting incident that occurred in Santa Fe, Texas, US, killing and wounding several people. The ministers said that such criminal acts that target innocent people run against all faiths and human values.
The meeting stressed Kuwait's unwavering stance rejecting all forms of terrorism, as well as the country's support to the international community to fight it and dry up its sources.
The ministers offered condolences to President Miguel D?az-Canel of Cuba, and the Cuban people over the victims of the recent plane crash in Havana. (end) fs.msa
