The General Command of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces in Abu Dhabi said on Friday the serviceman Khalid Ali Gharib Al-Beloushi was killed while on duty with the Saudi-led Arab Coalition's operation "Restoring Hope" in Yemen, Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

The report did not classify the circumstances which led to the death of the military personnel.

The General Command of the UAE Armed Forces said it offered its condolences to the family of the soldier, "praying to Almighty Allah to rest his soul in eternal peace, and bestow solace on his family."

The UAE General Command reported the death of several of its servicemen this year.

The UAE is part of a Saudi-led coalition of nine Arab states to support Yemen's internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi in the fight against the Shiite Houthi group.
