Kuwait has raised its complaint to the United Nations, sending identical letters to Secretary-General António Guterres and the President of the Security Council regarding continued Iranian missile and drone strikes since Feb. 28.
The Foreign Ministry said the correspondence details repeated launches of ballistic missiles and unmanned aircraft toward Kuwaiti territory, describing the incidents as a direct use of force that contravenes the UN Charter. Kuwait stated it is not involved in any regional fighting and rejected any justification for the attacks.
According to the letters, projectiles have been aimed at security sites as well as key state facilities. While air defense systems intercepted most of the incoming weapons, several locations were hit, including Kuwait International Airport, fuel storage units and the headquarters of the Public Institution for Social Security.
The government reported further fatalities since its last communication to the UN on March 3. Two border security personnel were killed while on duty, raising the total number of fallen military and security members to four. Civilian casualties have also been recorded.
Kuwait said diplomatic premises were not spared, citing strikes affecting the United States Embassy as a breach of the Vienna Convention.
The letters state that by midday March 8, Kuwait had faced 234 missiles and 422 drones. Authorities reaffirmed the country’s right to defend itself under international law and called on the Security Council to act to prevent further escalation.
