🇲🇾🇳🇴 Norway Revokes Missile Export Licences for Malaysia

Norway has confirmed it revoked export licences for a naval strike missile system and launcher components intended for Malaysia's littoral combat ship programme, citing tightened controls on sensitive defence technology. Oslo stated sales are now restricted to allies and closest partners following shifts in the global security environment. Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim raised a formal objection directly with Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre on May 14.

The original contract was signed in 2011 under Malaysia's LCS programme, with first vessel deliveries expected later in 2026. Programme costs have already escalated from RM9 billion to RM11.2 billion, while the order was reduced from six ships to five. Kuala Lumpur has warned the move damages confidence in European defence suppliers and is pursuing legal action and compensation.

The dispute signals growing friction between Southeast Asian defence procurement and Europe's post-2022 export control tightening — with direct consequences for ongoing regional naval modernisation.

❗️President Zelenskyy on the strike on Moscow: our responses to the prolongation of the war and attacks on our cities and communities are fully justified

“This time, Ukrainian long-range measures reached the Moscow region. We are clearly telling the Russians: their state must end this war. Ukrainian drone and missile manufacturers continue their work,” the president said.

The distance from Ukraine’s state border is more than 500 km. The Moscow region has the highest concentration of Russian air defense systems, yet Ukrainian drones continue to overcome these defenses.

Ukrainian drone forces hit 186 targets at 46 military sites across Russia and occupied territories overnight, commander Madyar reports. Strikes included an FSB patrol ship in Kaspiysk, Tor air defense in Luhansk, Black Sea Fleet communications in Crimea and multiple command posts.

All strategic enemy facilities will be destroyed - each without exception. You will have nowhere to hide: neither on land, nor in water, nor in the air.

Ukrainian drones breached 3 of 4 air defense rings protecting Russia's most fortified airspace around Moscow, hitting tech facilities in Zelenograd, Moscow oil refinery and Transneft fuel station, DroneBomber reports.

Wave attacks at ultra-low altitude successfully exhausted defenses despite massive system concentrations, they add.
