Hours after the UAE pledged that the suspected drone attacks on its civilian facilities by Houthi militants will not go unpunished, the Saudi-led coalition said on Monday that it had launched air strikes against Yemen’s Houthi insurgents, targeting the rebel-held capital Sanaa, following a terror attack on Abu Dhabi.
“In response to the threat and (out of) military necessity, air strikes have begun in Sanaa,” Khaleej Times quoted Saudi Press Agency as saying on Twitter.
