Kuwait decided for security purposes to halt the paperwork of Yemenis seeking to visit the Persian Gulf state, Al-Qabas reported, citing an unidentified security official.

The decision is temporary pending the restoration of stability in Yemen, the newspaper said. Kuwait imposed earlier bans on the entry of Syrians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Iranians and Afghans, according to Al-Qabas.
