THREE people were killed and six wounded as a suspected drone attack blew up petrol tankers near a major oil storage facility in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, state media said yesterday.

The explosions “resulted in the death of a Pakistani national and two Indian nationals, and six others sustained mild to moderate injuries,” reports said. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis, who are battling a Saudi-led coalition that includes the UAE, have launched cross-border missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, but have claimed few such attacks on the UAE. The Houthis said they had launched a military operation “deep in the UAE”.
