A second batch of UAE Armed Forces' soldiers is preparing to participate in the Arab coalition forces led by Saudi Arabia and assume their new tasks in Yemen.

The General Command of the UAE's Armed Forces has said that the first batch of its brave soldiers will return to the homeland after being replaced with the second force to carry out its duties in Yemen.

The replacement of the first batch comes after it achieved several victories, including the liberation of the historical city of Marib and Marib Dam, which was rebuilt by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
