The UAE ambassador to Washington, Yousef Al-Otaiba, announced that the United States had contributed to thwarting the Houthi missile attack on Abu Dhabi, calling on the US side to classify them as a terrorist group.
Al-Otaiba said, in a statement he made today, Monday, and reported by the Emirati embassy: “The close Emirati-American cooperation contributed to repelling another round of terrorist attacks by the Houthi militia this morning in the UAE.”
Al-Otaiba added: “The next step: stopping the financial and arms flows to the Houthis from the parties supporting them, and the United States should move now to return the Houthis to the list of terrorism.”

On Monday morning, the UAE Ministry of Defense announced the interception and destruction of two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis, the remnants of which fell in separate areas around the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and the attack did not lead to casualties.
This comes after the UAE was subjected on January 17 to an attack claimed by the Houthis that targeted a fuel depot belonging to the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company outside the center of the Emirati capital, as well as an area of Abu Dhabi International Airport that is still under construction, killing 3 people.
This comes at a time when the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which is leading the Arab coalition active in Yemen against the Houthis, are calling, at the insistence of the administration of US President Joe Biden, to reclassify the Houthi group “Ansar Allah” as a terrorist organization.
Following that attack, the Emirati ambassador to Washington confirmed that his country intends to consolidate security, intelligence and defense cooperation with the United States and Israel.
