Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen
Sultan Mohammed Ali al-Kitbi (1970, United Arab Emirates—14 December 2015, Taiz, Yemen) was a colonel of the United Arab Emirates Army who became one of the most senior officers killed during the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in the Yemeni civil war. He was also the highest ranking UAE officer to have been killed.
Mohammed Ali al-Kitbi was born around 1970 in the United Arab Emirates and has served in its armed forces since the 1990s. He served with peacekeeping missions in Somalia and Kosovo.
During the Saudi Arabian-led coalition's intervention in the Yemeni civil war, Al-Kitbi took part in Operation Restoring Hope and was involved in the fighting to capture the city of Taiz, in southern Yemen. He was killed in a rocket attack by Houthi rebels on Monday, 14 December 2015, near Taiz along with Saudi Arabian colonel Abdullah al-Sahian. His body was later returned to the UAE.
Al-Kitbi had seven children. His brother is a former member of the Federal National Council.
