UAE condemns targeting of Qatari gas tanker

The United Arab Emirates has condemned in the strongest terms the attack that targeted the liquefied natural gas tanker "Al Mayda," owned by Qatar Gas Transport Company, in the waters of the Arabian Gulf.

A statement by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed last night that this attack represents a grave threat to the safety of maritime navigation and global energy supplies, in addition to its serious environmental consequences, and constitutes a dangerous escalation that targets the security and stability of vital waterways.

The UAE expressed its solidarity with Qatar, stressing the necessity of respecting international law and ensuring the safety and security of commercial vessels, energy tankers, and their crews, and not endangering the security of maritime navigation and energy supplies.
