An official statement issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attack, which caused casualties and serious damage to airport facilities, as a blatant violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iran carried out a drone strike on a passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport. The attack killed one person and wounded dozens of others, the Kuwaiti authorities said, forcing the airport to close for hours.
Egypt reaffirmed its full support for Kuwait in confronting this aggression, expressing deep solidarity with the Kuwaiti government and people.
Egypt also pledged its backing for all measures Kuwait may take to safeguard its security and stability, and to protect its territory and vital installations.
Cairo reiterated that the security and stability of Gulf Arab states are a cornerstone of Arab national security.
Furthermore, it reasserted its categorical rejection of any actions or practices that encroach upon state sovereignty, threaten the safety of any nation's territory, or undermine regional stability.
