We call on the international community to strongly condemn such attacks and to act immediately so that Iran and its proxies will not have the tools to continue to undermine regional security and harm innocent people.

It added that F-15 and F-16 fighter jets were preparing for joint operations, with terrorist leaders among the operation’s priorities.The coalition added that F-15’s struck two ballistic missile launchers used in the Houthi attack on Monday. “Hostile attacks on civilians in the Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia] and the UAE will be held accountable,” said the coalition.Four people were killed and at least five were wounded in the airstrikes, according to initial reports by Al Masirah, a TV channel affiliated with the Houthis.Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesman for the Saudi coalition, stated that the attacks on the UAE and Saudi Arabia were “war crimes” and that the Houthis must be held accountable.The spokesman added that “this escalation and hostile behavior of the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia confirms the threat of this terrorist militia and its undermining of regional and international security.” He stressed that the coalition would take the “necessary operational measures to deter these hostile behaviors.”Three fuel tankers exploded in Abu Dhabi’s Musaffah industrial area near storage facilities of oil firm ADNOC and a fire broke out at a storage facility at Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The United Arab Emirates has great influence on the Yemeni forces it armed and trained prior to scaling down its military presence in the region in 2019. The Houthis have repeatedly launched cross-border missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and have in the past threatened to attack the UAE.On Monday evening, the Houthis stated that they carried out “Operation Hurricane Yemen” in response to what it called “the escalation of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression,” according to Al Masirah.The movement claimed that it targeted the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and an oil refinery in Musaffah, as well as “a number of important and sensitive Emirati sites and facilities,” with five missiles and a number of drones.The Houthis warned foreign companies, citizens and residents of the UAE to stay away from vital sites and facilities, adding that it “will not hesitate” to expand the bank of targets to further sites. The movement added that the UAE should be considered an “unsafe state” as long as the escalation continues.
