The UAE Ministry of Interior announced Saturday suspending "all flying operations for owners, practitioners, and enthusiasts of drones, including drones and light sports aircraft" due to "safety" related reasons.

The Emirati announcement comes after the Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson, Yahya Saree, called on foreign companies in the UAE to leave the country.

A few days ago, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced carrying out "a qualitative military operation, Operation Yemen Hurricane, in response to the escalation of aggression against the country."

The operation targeted Abu Dhabi's airport, the oil refinery in Mussafah in Abu Dhabi, and several other sites in the UAE.
