The United Arab Emirates strongly condemned an attack in the Arabian Gulf targeting the Al Mayeda, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker owned by Qatar Gas Transport Company.
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack posed a grave threat to maritime navigation and global energy supplies and carried serious environmental risks. It described the incident as a dangerous escalation aimed at undermining the security and stability of critical waterways.
The UAE expressed solidarity with Qatar and called for international law to be upheld and for the safety of commercial vessels, energy tankers and their crews to be ensured.
