The UAE defence forces on Monday intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles that the Houthi terror group fired towards its capital Abu Dhabi, days after two Indians and a Pakistani were killed in a rare drone and missile attack claimed by the Yemeni rebels.

The attack did not result in any human losses, the Ministry of Defence said, adding that the remnants of the intercepted and destroyed ballistic missiles fell in separate areas around Abu Dhabi.

“The air defences had intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by the terrorist Houthi group towards the country on Monday,” the ministry announced on

Twitter. The attack came a week after Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted a fuel depot in Abu Dhabi and the city’s main airport. —
