The Kingdom of Bahrain refuted Qatar's allegations in its memorandum to the UN Security Council, which claimed that military aircraft belonging to the United Arab Emirates violated its airspace. The Bahrain News Agency said that the Kingdom of Bahrain's mission to the United Nations in New York delivered Bahrain's response to Qatar's allegations, attesting to the absence of any violation by the United Arab Emirates aircraft of the Qatari airspace and its commitment to fly in the airspace run by the Kingdom of Bahrain only. The mission showed in its report the route of the UAE aircraft which Qatar claimed to have violated its airspace, the report confirmed by the tracking of the flight routes that the UAE aircraft is flying away from Qatari airspace and that Qatar violated international law when it intercepted the UAE aircraft, reflecting an irresponsible and unjustified escalation by Qatar. The Kingdom of Bahrain called upon the State of Qatar to respect international law and to abide by the principles of good neighborliness and not to repeat such unacceptable acts which endanger the lives of innocent civilians and threaten international peace and security.
