Tributes have been paid to a pilot who was killed when his aircraft crashed in Yemen.
Captain Khalid Mohammad Al Shehi died when his aircraft crashed due to a technical failure, state news agency Wam reported, quoting the UAE Armed Forces General Command.
He was serving as part of Operation Restoring Hope.
An absentee funeral prayer was performed on Wednesday for Al Shehi in at the Martyrs' Mosque in Al Qadfa, Fujairah.
Al Shehi was 31 years old and has three children – Moza, 4, Zayed, 3, and Salama, nine months.
In his last voice message sent to his friends before his death, shared on social media, Al Shehi is heard asking them to pray for his 'victory or martyrdom'.
"I’ll meet you in a month, God willing,” he said, in apparent reference to returning home on leave.
The rulers of the UAE offered their heartfelt condolences to the family and to his father, who said that he was proud that his son is amongst the fallen soldiers.
The General Command of the UAE Armed Forces had earlier announced that an aircraft had crashed due to a technical failure. Wam reported that Al Shehi died and that "some others went missing".
No more details about the accident were available on Thursday.
Last month, four Emirati servicemen were killed when the helicopter they were in crashed in Yemen.
A further three, including Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the grandson of the country's founding father, who had served with the elite Presidential Guard, were injured.
The other two soldiers were Rashid Al Balushi and Rashid Al Dhuhoori.
The funerals of the fallen were attended by many hundreds, while prayers were said for the injured for a swift recovery.
Law 41.9.4 of men’s T20I playing conditions
The fielding side shall be ready to start each over within 60 seconds of the previous over being completed.
An electronic clock will be displayed at the ground that counts down seconds from 60 to zero.
The clock is not required or, if already started, can be cancelled if:
• A new batter comes to the wicket between overs.
• An official drinks interval has been called.
• The umpires have approved the on field treatment of an injury to a batter or fielder.
• The time lost is for any circumstances beyond the control of the fielding side.
• The third umpire starts the clock either when the ball has become dead at the end of the previous over, or a review has been completed.
• The team gets two warnings if they are not ready to start overs after the clock reaches zero.
• On the third and any subsequent occasion in an innings, the bowler’s end umpire awards five runs.
