Earlier today, the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said on Twitter that "the Yemeni armed forces will announce in the coming hours the details of a wide military operation in the UAE depth."

In response to the aggressive raids launched by the Saudi coalition, the Minister of Defense in the Sanaa government, Major General Muhammad Al-Atifi, has recently announced that the countries leading the aggression will soon witness “painful strikes in the depths and unexpected areas, and this is a legitimate right of the Yemeni people,” within the framework of Operation Yemen Hurricane.

He pointed out that "the escalating aggression does not help end the war, but rather expands its geographical scope, undermines peace opportunities, and destabilizes the security and stability of the region."

Meanwhile, the US State Department on Thursday urged Americans who may be considering travel to the United Arab Emirates to reconsider, citing the threat of missile or drone attacks.

The Department retained the highest level warning for the UAE in its updated travel advisory. It had already urged Americans against traveling to the country because of COVID-19.

Earlier, the US Embassy and Consulate had advised US nationals in the UAE to maintain a high level of security awareness.

Dubai Expo 2020 announced postponing a concert set for January 30, citing "unforeseen circumstances" and saying it would announce the new date for the concert at a later time through its social media channels.
