Press TV: A senior official from Yemen’s popular Ansarullah resistance movement says the United Arab Emirates (UAE) should brace for more stinging retaliatory strikes from Yemeni armed forces and their allies if Abu Dhabi does not end its involvement in the atrocious military aggression against the conflict-stricken Arab country.
“The UAE should expect more painful attacks if it does not stop attacking Yemen,” Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, told Qatari Al Jazeera television news network on Monday.
His remarks came shortly after Yemeni army forces, backed by allied fighters from Popular Committees, carried out retaliatory airstrikes against strategic facilities deep inside the UAE, apparently using domestically-manufactured combat drones.
Abu Dhabi police, in a statement published on the official Emirates News Agency WAM, said three fuel tanker trucks had exploded in the industrial Musaffah area, near storage facilities of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and that a fire had also broken out at a construction site at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
At least three people have been killed and six others wounded in the suspected drone attack, according to Emirati authorities.
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.
Meanwhile, Spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said Yemeni troops had launched a military operation “deep inside the UAE.”
He added that more details about the qualitative military operation would be announced in the coming hours.
Additionally, the spokesman for Ansarullah movement, Mohammed Abdulsalam, warned Abu Dhabi against severe repercussions should it maintain its acts of sabotage in Yemen.
“A tiny state in the region, which goes to great lengths to serve the United States and Israel, has claimed that it had kept a fair distance from Yemen. The allegations, however, have proven otherwise,” he wrote on his Twitter page.
Abdulsalam added, “Abu Dhabi is recommended to give up its futile actions in Yemen; otherwise its hands and those of its mercenaries will be cut off from the country.”
Yemeni Information Minister Dhaifullah al-Shami also reacted to the retaliatory attacks against the UAE, stating that the message of punishment has been well conveyed to Emirati officials.
“The propagandists and organizations that bank on assets from Persian Gulf states, such as the United Nations and Security Council, will now start issuing condemnations and commiserations. Neither the cawing of crows nor the buzzing of flies would disturb us,” Shamni pointed out.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Despite heavily-armed Saudi Arabia’s incessant bombardment of the impoverished country, the Yemeni armed forces and the Popular Committees have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
Yemeni daily to UAE: Abu Dhabi’s fragile glass towers ‘easy to reach’

A Yemeni daily says the United Arab Emirates (UAE) should await a harsh response for its escalations against Yemen, reminding the Persian Gulf country that Abu Dhabi’s fragile glass towers are “easy to reach.”
In an article published on Saturday, Al Masirah newspaper said the Emiratis have entered into a dangerous game by dispatching mercenaries and Takfiri elements under their command to the Yemeni provinces of Ma’rib and Shabwah.
“Observers confirm that the continuation of the Emirati escalation will have a great impact on Abu Dhabi, in the form of material, human, and economic losses; losses that will be inflicted upon the Emirati enemy inside Yemen and deep into [the UAE’s] own geographical depth, which is full of oil installations,” the paper noted.
“The fragile glass towers are easy to reach,” it added.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces announced that the Yemeni forces inflicted heavy losses on the UAE mercenaries in the southern province of Shabwah, killing and wounding dozens of them.
“The armed forces affirm their full readiness to defend the country and its people and to confront the great escalation of Emirati enemy until victory is achieved,” Brigadier General Yahya Saree wrote. “The consequences of this Emirati escalation will be great and they must bear consequences of their escalation.”
On Friday evening, Saree said that Yemeni forces confronted UAE-sponsored mercenaries and the Daesh terrorists in Ma’rib province.
“The armed forces call on the people and families of the UAE mercenaries to withdraw their sons from engaging them in battles that serve only America and its alias in the region,” he added.
Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, chief among them the UAE, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, seeking primarily to dismantle the popular Ansarullah resistance movement and regain Yemen as a pawn by reinstalling Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
The war, supported by Western powers, has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
The Ansarullah movement has vowed to defeat the Saudi- and Emirati-backed mercenaries and liberate Yemen in its entirety. It says the war on Yemen was waged to subjugate the Arab country to the US, the British and the Israelis.

I well imagine there were more than a couple brown stained kanduras in UAE. That the cabal decided to immediately retaliate against Yemen again shows that tendency to double-down at all costs. Since the Houthis do not attack civilian targets directly, they should begin to consider that those living in those glass towers are co-conspirators. Can one imagine the complete shit-storm if they should hit one of those glass houses? I mean aside from the US/cabal reaction. Those in the UAE will get to see what a bunch of suckers they are, just how safe they really are and just how much their ‘partners’ really give a shit. Money would flee in the billions and that would be the end of them. As well, they would find out just what their position really is if they should decide to (really) leave Yemen and start to talk to the real power in the gulf, Iran. The old saying about glass houses is right on and the UAE is going to find that out in spades. Were I calling the shots, the second I knew they were going to double-down with a retaliatory strike, more drones and missiles would be headed their way immediately. How would they act if half their pin-head size country was destroyed? The knock-on effect that would have with all those traitorous Muslim countries that have climbed into the Zionist bed would be interesting.
I have to the conclusion that US politicians have lost their ##$%& minds especially the Neocons currently employed by the Biden regime. For seven long years Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, and the US have massacred close to a million Yemeni citizens while the world remains silent. Heaven help the Houthis when they respond killing a few Saudis or UAE citizens, then it’s the end of the world. Jake Sullivan is very upset and promises the US will make sure the Houthis pay a price for this act of terrorism. He said the US will defend Saudi Arabia and the UAE no matter what.
Yemen has every right to do this.. what US will keep backing the lame horse?
