Iran ‘accidentally’ hits own ally in Kuwait? Beijing breaks silence, condemns attack on civilians

A reported Iranian strike in northern Kuwait has drawn a response from China after a building linked to a Chinese company was hit during the latest regional escalation. Beijing said no Chinese citizens were affected but stressed that attacks on innocent civilians and non-military targets are unacceptable. China also urged all parties to exercise restraint and resolve disputes through dialogue, while its embassy in Kuwait advised Chinese nationals and institutions to strengthen security precautions. The incident has added another layer of complexity to the widening Gulf crisis, raising questions about the risks facing foreign companies and civilians in the region.
