Eight Houthi drones targeting Saudi Arabia were also intercepted, the coalition told.

The UAE vowed reprisals after a drone attack on Monday claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels triggered a fuel tank blast that killed three people in Abu Dhabi.

The United Arab Emirates is part of a Saudi-led military coalition that supports Yemen’s government against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who have repeatedly targeted Saudi Arabia with cross-border strikes.

But this is the first deadly assault on its soil acknowledged by the UAE and claimed by the rebels, who said they had fired ballistic missiles and deployed armed drones.

Abu Dhabi airport in the heart of the UAE

Two Indians and a Pakistani working for oil giant ADNOC passed as three petrol tanks exploded around a storage facility, while a fire also ignited in a construction area at Abu Dhabi airport in the heart of the UAE, a well-known haven in the volatile Middle East.

Police told”small flying objects, maybe belonging to drones” were seen at both sites. Drone attacks have been a hallmark of the rebels’ attacks on neighboring Saudi Arabia.

“We condemn the Huthi terrorist militia’s targeting of civilian areas and facilities on UAE soil today… this sinful targeting will not go unpunished,” UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan told in a report, as his ministry told the attack as a “heinous criminal escalation”.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree told that they had “carried out… a successful military operation” against “important and sensitive Emirati sites and installations” operating both ballistic missiles and drones.

The incident follows a surge in fighting in Yemen including advances by UAE-trained troops. The rebels again took a UAE-flagged ship and its international crew earlier this month.

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation all condemned the “terrorist” attack. Eight Houthi drones targeting Saudi Arabia were also intercepted, the coalition told.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai

The rebels have previously threatened to target Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the gleaming crown jewels of the UAE which last year opened its first nuclear power plant.

Abdul Ilah Hajar, adviser to the president of the Houthis’ Supreme Political Council in Sanaa, told it was a warning shot from the rebels.” We sent them a clear warning notice by switching places that are not of significant strategic importance,” he informed AFP.

  • “But it is a warning if the UAE continues its hostility to Yemen, it will not be able in the end to withstand the coming strikes.”Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry condemned “in the strongest terms the cowardly terrorist attack” while Bahrain and Qatar also criticized the strikes.

The incident reaches two weeks behind the rebels who hijacked the UAE-flagged Rwabee and released footage purporting to offer military equipment on board.

The UAE told the Rwabee, whose 11 crew are currently hostages, was a “civilian cargo vessel” and called the hijacking a “dangerous escalation” in the busy Red Sea shipping route.

The rebels last refused a UN Security Council request for the ship’s immediate release, saying it was “not having… toys for children but weapons for extremists”.

Yemen’s conflict has been a catastrophe for millions of its citizens who have fled their homes, with many on the brink of famine, in what the UN calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The UAE united the coalition against the Houthis before declaring a change of tack in 2019.

The pro-government Giants Brigade troops, backed by the Saudis and UAE, just delivered a significant blow to the rebels by recapturing three districts in the Shabwa governorate. The clashes were part of an upswing in violence in the shattered country, where the war is being fought on several fronts.
