Qatar military jet intercepts second UAE civilian aircraft

The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority on Monday announced that Qatar's military aircraft intercepted two civilian UAE planes when they were on their way to Bahrain.

According to the authority, the planes were on scheduled flights to a known destination, and this move by Qatar was a severe violation of international law, and an infringement of safety standards.

The UAE strongly condemned the move, and said it will take every step possible to ensure safety of its planes and passengers.
