Houthi rebel group claims responsibility for the attack, says it launched a military operation ‘deep in the UAE’.
Three people were killed and six others wounded when three oil tankers exploded in Abu Dhabi in a suspected drone attack claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels Monday, authorities said.
Abu Dhabi police said three fuel tanker trucks had exploded in the industrial Musaffah area near storage facilities of oil firm ADNOC and that a fire broke out at a construction site at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Police identified the dead as two Indian nationals and one Pakistani. It did not identify the wounded, whom it said suffered minor or moderate wounds.
“Initial investigations found parts of a small plane that could possibly be a drone at both sites that could have caused the explosion and the fire,” the police said in a statement on state news agency WAM.
