The statement did not provide any further details, while Doha has yet to comment on the ministry’s claims.

Since mid-2017, the UAE – along with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain – has imposed a diplomatic and commercial embargo on Qatar, accusing the country of supporting terrorist groups.

Doha strenuously denies the allegation, describing the ongoing embargo as a violation of international law.
