Dubai: Satellite photos obtained by the Associated Press on Tuesday seem to show after a fatal attack on oil facilities in the United Arab Emirates capital claimed by Houthi Yemeni rebels.
Images by Planet Labs PBC were analyzed by the AP smoke up more than the Abu Dhabi National Oil Fuel Depot in the Abu Dhabi Musafah environment on Monday.
Another image was taken shortly after appearing to show a scorched sign and a white foam foam was deployed on the grounds of the depot.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., known as the ADNOC acronym, is a state-owned energy company that provides many UAE’s wealth, a seven Shekhdom federation on the Arabian Peninsula house for Dubai.
ADNOC did not immediately respond to questions from AP which asked about the site and damage to the estimation of the attack.
The company said the attack occurred around 10am.
Monday.
“We work closely with related authorities to determine the exact cause and detailed investigation have begun,” Adnoc said in the previous statement.
The attack killed two Indian citizens and one Pakistan as three tankers on the site exploded, police said.
Six people were also injured at the facility, who were near Al-Dhafra Air Base, a massive emirati installation as well as home to American and French forces.
Other fire also crashed into Abu Dhabi International Airport, although damage in the attack could not be seen.
Senior Emirati Diplomat Anwar Gargash blamed Houthis for the attack, said on Twitter that the Emirati Authority handled “a malignant attack on several civilian facilities” in the United Arab Emirates’s capital with “transparency and responsibility.” “The security of the region by terrorist militia is too weak to influence the stability and safety in which we live,” he said.
Houthi rebels supported by Iran Yemen claim that they are behind the attack targeting “sensitive Emirati facilities.” In a press conference on Monday night, a military spokesman Jehia Sarea said, without offering evidence, that Houthi targeted Abu Dhabi and Dubai airports, as well as oil refineries and other sites in the UAE with ballistic missiles and explosive drones.
Although the UAE has resigned its own troops from Yemen, it was still actively involved in conflict and supporting Yemeni militias that combat Houthi.
The incident came as Houtis’s face pressure and suffered severe losses.
Yemeni government forces, allies and supported by the UAE, has pushed rebels in the key provinces.
Assisted by the Giants Brigade supported by Emirati, government forces returned Shabwa Province earlier this month in a hit against Houthi’s efforts to resolve their control of the entire part of the northern Yemen.
Attack worst of the UAE was poured from all over the world.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the United States will work with the UAE and international partners to request Houthi’s accountability, by saying “we stand beside our Emirati partners against all their threats.” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres criticized the attack as “prohibited by international law” and urged all parties “to prevent escalation amid increasing tensions in the region,” said Stephane Dujric spokesman said.
The UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg headed to Riyadh for a meeting with Saudi and Yemen officials about “recently” uptick military “in Yemen, Dujarric added.
Saudi Arabia and a number of other Arab countries cancel the attack as “cowardly terrorist attacks.” Kingdom, and the US, UN experts and others accused Iran to supply weapons to Houthi.
UAE is a key member of the Saudi-LED coalition who has fought against Houthi since 2015, trying to recover internationally supported power, being overthrown by the previous year’s rebels.
While Emirati forces have been killed during the conflict, now in eight years, the war has not directly affected everyday life in the wider UAE, a country with a vast foreign workforce.
