The United Arab Emirates has condemned the terrorist attack on the Presidential Palace in the Chadian capital, N'Djamena, which resulted in one death and a number of injuries to innocent people.

An attack on Chad’s presidential palace left 18 assailants dead and six in custody, with one soldier killed and three wounded, state media reported Thursday.

An attack on Chad's presidency compound foiled by security forces on Wednesday was carried out by a disorganised band of intoxicated men wielding knives and machetes who were easily neutralised, the government spokesperson said.
