Police set up a cordon outside the Manchester Arena in northern England

Following the suicide bombing attack in Manchester yesterday, the UAE Embassy in London has confirmed that the UAE citizens in Manchester are safe.

At least 22 persons, including children, died and 59 were injured in a suicide terror attack that hit Manchester Arena on Monday night just as a concert by American pop singer Ariana Grande had ended.

In a statement made today, UAE Ambassador to the United Kingdom Sulaiman Hamed Al Mazrouei said that all Emirati citizens in the city of Manchester are safe and secure. He added that a team from the embassy and its attached offices were following up the developments to ensure that all the UAE's nationals are safe.

Through its official Twitter account, the citizens were urged to immediately contact the embassy for any emergency services on +442075811281.
