Yemeni armed forces carry out a military operation in Saudi Arabia, UAE
A large number of ballistic missiles and drones targeted sites in Abu Dhabi and southern Saudi Arabia, with information indicating that more than two missiles were launched at the UAE.
The Yemeni armed forces announced that in the upcoming hours, details of a military operation in the UAE and Saudi Arabia will be revealed.
The Emirati defense ministry announced on Monday that two ballistic missiles fired by the Yemeni Armed Forces were intercepted and destroyed over the United Arab Emirates, as tensions rose a week after an attack on Abu Dhabi.
The missiles' debris fell near Abu Dhabi, where three people were killed last week in a drone-and-missile attack claimed by the Yemeni armed forces.
"The attack did not result in any casualties, while the remnants of the intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles fell in separate areas around the Emirate of Abu Dhabi," a statement said.
The ministry added that it was "ready to deal with any threats" and was "taking all necessary measures to protect the state from all attacks", the official WAM news agency said.
The Yemeni armed forces appeared to claim the attack when spokesperson Mohammed Abulsalam said he would reveal details of a "military operation" in UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Operation Yemen Hurricane
Last week's attack was a shock for the UAE. It was the first major attack on UAE soil acknowledged by the Emiratis and claimed by the Yemeni armed forces.
The Saudi-led coalition then carried out a massacre which it later denied, despite numerous evidence proving otherwise.
Attack on Al-Hudaydah
In an air raid on Sanaa, 14 people were martyred, while at least three children were killed in an attack on Al-Hudaydah that knocked out the country's failing internet in a bid to hide the extent of the atrocity.
The coalition has denied carrying out a strike on a jail in Saada, the Yemeni armed forces' main base, which resulted in a massacre that killed at least 70 prisoners and injured over 100 others.
Witnesses in Saada saw fighter jets overhead followed by three huge explosions, according to aid organizations, who discounted the coalition's denial.
"This is the latest in a long line of unjustifiable airstrikes carried out by the Saudi-led coalition on places like schools, hospitals, markets, wedding parties, and prisons," said Ahmed Mahat, MSF head of mission in Yemen.
