Qatar said on Saturday that a second United Arab Emirates (UAE) military jet had violated its airspace, prompting a new complaint to the UN.
The plane was travelling from the UAE to Bahrain on January 3 when it flew over Qatar’s special economic zone “without prior authorisation”, the Foreign Ministry said. On Friday, Doha said it had lodged a protest at the UN about a UAE fighter jet violating its airspace on December 21.
In its new complaint, Qatar said the “repetition of this terrible incident” was evidence of the UAE violating international law.
UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash on Friday denied the accusation relating to the first incident.
