UAE condemns Houthi attack

ABU DHABI: The UAE condemned a “heinous” attack it blamed on Yemen’s Houthi rebels after three people (including a Pakistani national) were killed in a fuel tank blast triggered by a suspected drone strike Monday.

“UAE authorities… are dealing… with the heinous Houthi attack on some civilian installations in Abu Dhabi,” tweeted presidential advisor Anwar Gargash, referring to the Yemeni rebels.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar has confirmed the demise of a Pakistani national in the fire (reportedly caused by attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels).

In a statement, he said that the Abu Dhabi Police has informed Pakistan’s Embassy in Abu Dhabi about the demise of a Pakistani in the incident.

He said Pakistan’s Embassy was in close contact with the UAE authorities for ascertaining more details in this regard.
