Abu Dhabi: Two Indians and a Pakistani national were killed and six others wounded following a suspected drone attack at Abu Dhabi’s new international airport on Monday, Dubai’s Al-Arabiya English reported.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement claimed it had carried out an attack on United Arab Emirates (UAE) after authorities in the Gulf state reported two fires in Abu Dhabi which were possibly caused by drones, Reuters reported.
“An explosion involving three oil tankers in Abu Dhabi and a fire in the construction site of the emirate’s new airport on Monday were potentially caused by drones,” Abu Dhabi police said in a statement carried by official WAM news agency.
The incident comes in the backdrop of tensions between Houthis and a military coalition led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the UAE.
This is not the first time Houthi rebels have launched cross-border missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. They carried out similar attacks on two key oil installations, in September 2019.
The UAE and Yemen have been at war for seven years.
