After Monday's strikes on Al Udeid air base, the UAE condemned the attacks in the strongest terms, considering it a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Qatar and its airspace, which constitutes a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed UAE’s full solidarity with Qatar, and its unwavering support for all measures aimed at safeguarding the security and safety of its citizens and residents.
