According to the military on the 2nd, junior officer A was found unconscious on the rooftop of the unit the previous morning and was taken to a local military hospital, but was ultimately pronounced dead. The military is known to place more weight on the possibility that it was not a homicide, considering the circumstances when A was found. The military plans to dispatch a local investigation team and a body transfer unit within the day to determine the exact cause of death.

A military official said, "We sincerely pray for the deceased's soul" and promised to promptly investigate the circumstances.

The Ark Unit was first dispatched in 2011 at the request of the UAE for military training cooperation. This unit contributes to the UAE military's elite development and the enhancement of our military's special operations capabilities through training support for the UAE special forces and joint exercises between the two countries.
