Abu Dhabi Police say three oil company trucks and an airport building in the industrial area of Abu Dhabi’s Musaffah caught fire at a construction site. Police say parts of a small plane have been found at the scene of the fire, which could potentially be used by drones, the same drones that may have caused explosions and fires here. In addition, the police say a fire in an oil tanker killed one Pakistani and two Indian nationals and injured six others.
On the other hand, a spokesman for the Houthi rebels claimed that they had conducted a military operation inside the UAE. The Houthi rebel spokesman did not provide details of the attack.
