US government approves $650M air-to-air missile and equipment deal to Saudi Arabia after Washington criticised Kingdom’s role in Yemen

The State Department had approved the sale on October 26, a spokesperson said, adding that the air-to-air missile sale comes after "an increase in cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia over the past year."The sale "is fully consistent with the administration's pledge to lead with diplomacy to end the conflict in Yemen," the State Department spokesperson said in a statement.
