Dubai: Rudal roaming and ballistic missiles are used with drones on Monday’s attack on the United Arab Emirates, and several weapons are intercepted, the Uee Ambassador to the United States.
It was the first time UAE, which rarely discussed his security in public, said the missile was used in an attack that killed three civilians in Abu Dhabi, and the first time he claimed to have intercepted several weapons.
The Houthi Group that is in harmony with Iran Yemen has claimed it carried out an attack with five ballistic missiles and a number of drones.
Police Abu Dhabi said they found the parts of the small plane that might be a drone, but did not mention missiles.
“Some attacks – a combination of roaming missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones are targeted at UAE.
Some are intercepted,” Ambassador UAE Yousef Al Otaiba told an online panel organized by the American National Security Institute (Jinsa).
Responding to the attack, President Joe Biden said on Wednesday his government was considering the re-appointed Houthi an international terrorist organization.
Biden government raised the appointment of last February; UAE calls for restored.
UAE is part of a coalition led by Saudi who combat Houthi in Yemen.
While the UAE said that in 2020 it had attracted its own troops, she had armed and trained Yemeni troops who joined this year’s battle against Houthi in the Shabwa and Marib area which produced energy.
UAE “Long left the Yemeni war,” Otaiba said in his comment to Jinsa.
“Attacking a country that is not in battle makes a very clear case” to restore the appointment of Houthi terrorists.
UAE said missiles, drones used in attacks, some were intercepted
