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.
