UAE to Be Forced to Acknowledge Yemen’s Drone Attacks: Ansarullah
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesman for Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah Movement praised a drone attack on the Dubai International Airport in retaliation for the United Arab Emirates’ aggression on the Arabian Peninsula country and said the UAE cannot deny such development.
The UAE will never be able to deny attacks by Yemen’s drone unit and will finally be forced to acknowledge the unit’s bigger operations in the future, Mohammad Abdul-Salam said on his Twitter account on Sunday.
The drone unit carried out its second operation in a month against the Dubai International Airport with a drone dubbed “Sammad -3”, he added in his tweet.
Dubai International Airport said on Sunday it was operating as normal following a news report that Yemen’s Houthi movement had launched a drone attack against the aviation hub.
According to a report by Yemen's Arabic-language al-Masirah television network on Sunday, Yemeni forces attacked Dubai International Airport using the domestically made Sammad-3 (Invincible-3) unmanned aerial vehicle.
On August 27 and July 26, Yemeni army forces and Popular Committees fighters targeted Abu Dhabi International Airport in the UAE, using the same type of combat drone.
The UAE is Saudi Arabia’s key ally in its deadly war against Yemen.
Yemen’s defenseless people have been under massive attacks by the coalition for more than three years but Riyadh has reached none of its objectives in Yemen so far.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
The Yemeni Ministry of Human Rights announced in a statement on March 25 that the war had left 600,000 civilians dead and injured until then. The war and the accompanying blockade have also caused famine across Yemen.
