Kuwait on Wednesday summoned Iraq's envoy to the Gulf state after protesters attempted to storm the Kuwaiti consulate in the southern Iraqi city of Basra overnight.Kuwait's foreign ministry said in a statement it had delivered a note of protest to Iraq's charge d'affaires over "acts of vandalism and destruction that targeted the Kuwaiti Consulate General in Basra".
It called the night's events a "flagrant violation of relevant international norms".
Iraq was dragged into the Middle East war, with strikes targeting both US interests and pro-Iran groups in the country.
On Tuesday, dozens of people protested in front of the Kuwaiti consulate in Basra.
It came after projectiles killed an eight-year-old child and at least six other people in Iraq on Tuesday, officials said Tuesday, with one official saying that the strikes had been fired from Kuwait.
An AFP photographer saw demonstrators attempt to storm the consular building, with security forces firing tear gas to disperse them.
