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

The replacement of the first batch comes after it achieved several victories, including the liberation of Marib and Marib Dam, which was rebuilt by Sheikh Zayed, the Founder of the UAE.
