UAE carries out air strikes in Yemen’s Aden on Saudi-led forces' attackers
UAE said on Thursday it carried out air strikes in Yemen's
Aden against "terrorist organisations" that attacked Saudi-led
coalition forces and the city's airport, according to a statement quoted by UAE
state news agency WAM.
UAE called for an international response against the attackers.
The UAE has expressed on Saturday concern over the ongoing
armed clashes in Aden, calling for de-escalation and maintaining the security
and safety of Yemeni citizens, according to Emirates News Agency (WAM).
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and International Cooperation of the UAE, said that efforts should
focus on confronting Yemen’s Houthis and terrorist groups.
The minister called for responsible and serious dialogue in
order to end the differences and work for unity to maintain security and
stability.
He also stressed that the UAE, as an active partner in the
Arab Coalition, is exerting all efforts to de-escalate in Aden.
He added that UN envoy Martin Griffiths should push for the parties to de-escalate the situation in Aden, because of the negative impact it would have on the UN’s effort to maintain stability and security through dialogue and negotiations.
