Yemeni AlmasirahTV quted a source in the Air Force that the operation against Dubai Int'l Airport was based on very accurate intelligence and high level of monitoring and Dubai International Airport is more than 1,200 km away from Yemen.

This is the first time that the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees targeted the economic capital of the UAE, in response to its major participation in the US-Saudi aggression against Yemen.

On July 26, The Yemeni Air Force, launched several air strikes on Abu Dhabi International Airport by drone, Sammad 3.

He said Yemeni forces will target the infrastructure of countries that have taken part in the aggression against Yemen in future attacks.

Emirati aviation authorities later announced that an incident involving a supply vehicle in the Terminal 1 airside area of the airport had occurred.

The officials claimed that the development had not affected operations at Abu Dhabi International Airport, and flights continued to arrive and depart as scheduled.

The UAE is Saudi Arabia’s key ally in its deadly war against Yemen.

Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating military campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of Yemen's former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, back to power and crushing the country’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement.

The aggression has killed some 15,000 people and injured thousands more. More than 2,200 others have died of cholera, and the crisis has triggered what the United Nations has described as the world's worst humanitarian disaster.
