Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abduallah underlined on Monday the importance of relations between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the stability of the region.

Speaking from Warsaw after meeting with his Polish counterpart Radoslaw Sikorski, he acknowledged “differences in visions” between the Kingdom and UAE over Yemen.

“The Kingdom is keen on establishing strong and positive relations with the UAE given its stature as an important partner in the Gulf Cooperation Council,” he went on to say.

“On Yemen, there are differences in visions. The UAE has now decided to leave Yemen and I think if that indeed is the case and the UAE has completely left the issue of Yemen, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will take responsibility,” he added.

“I think that will be the building block for making sure that the relationship with the UAE continues strong and continues to serve the interests not just of both countries but the region,” stressed Prince Faisal.

An Iranian attack on a residential area in northern Kuwait injured six people on Monday, the Gulf country's health ministry said.

It followed a post on X by Kuwait's army earlier in the day saying the nation's air defenses were working to intercept incoming missiles and drones.

"Falling projectiles and debris in a residential area in the north of the country after an Iranian aggression," the ministry said.

"The total number of injuries rose to six, with varying degrees of wounds."

Overnight from Sunday to Monday, Kuwait had also said it was responding to similar attacks.
