Norway suspends arms sales to UAE over Yemen war

[ahlam1399]

OSLO: Norway has suspended exports of weapons and ammunition to the United Arab Emirates over concerns they could be used in the war in Yemen, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. The UAE is part of a Saudi-led coalition formed in 2015 to fight the Iran-aligned Houthi group that controls most of northern Yemen and the capital Sanaa, in a war that has killed more than 10,000 people and displaced more than 3 million. While there is currently no evidence that Norwegian-made ammunition has been used in Yemen, there was a rising risk related to the UAE?s military involvement there, the ministry said.
