DUBAI, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Corporal Abdullah Mohammed Ahmed Dahmani of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces was killed in action in Yemen, UAE state news agency WAM reported Monday.
The General Command has offered its condolences to the family of the martyr, praying to Almighty Allah to rest his soul in eternal peace and bestow solace to his family.
The UAE is part of a Saudi-led Arab coalition that has been fighting the Shiite Houthi rebels since March 2015 to support the internationally-recognized government led by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The Saudi-led coalition accuses Iran of arming the Houthis, who have fired scores of ballistic missiles on Saudi troops and cities since the outbreak of hostilities.
