MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Yemeni Foreign Minister Ahmed Awad Bin Mubarak has refuted claims about any agreements to establish foreign military bases in his country, specifically an airbase of the United Arab Emirates.
The Associated Press recently reported that the UAE was building an airbase on Yemen’s Mayun Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that separates the Arabian Peninsula from Africa.
Satellite images reportedly show a 1,850-metre (6,070-foot) runway and three hangars. On Wednesday, Yemeni lawmakers requested the government to provide an explanation.
