The body of corporal Saeed Matar al-Kaabi was repatriated on Friday, the official WAM news agency reported. The military said Kaabi was killed while “performing his national duty” in Najran province bordering Yemen, without elaborating. Some 100 Emiratis have been killed in Yemen since the Saudi-led intervention there began in March 2015.

A ballistic missile fired from Yemen early Friday wounded an expatriate worker when it hit a compound for foreign labourers in Najran, the spokesman for the coalition forces said in a statement cited by the official SPA news agency. Turky al-Maleki, who called the attack a violation of international law, said the blast triggered a fire and caused material damage. The UAE has been playing a key role in the Saudi-led campaign in support of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi’s government after Iran-backed Houthi rebels forced him into exile.
