Kuwait calls Iranian drone, missile attack 'dangerous escalation'

Kuwait condemned on Thursday a drone-and-missile attack it blamed on Iran, as the Islamic republic's renewed exchanges with US forces heaped pressure on the Middle East war's fragile ceasefire.

A foreign ministry statement voiced Kuwait's "strongest condemnation and denunciation of the criminal Iranian attacks that targeted the territory of the State of Kuwait with missiles and drones, in a dangerous escalation".
