Yemen‘s Houthi Ansarullah movement has fired a cruise missile towards a nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, the group‘s television service reported on its website on Sunday, without providing any evidence.
There were no reports of any missiles reaching the UAE.
The Houthis control much of northern Yemen and had said Abu Dhabi, a member of the Saudi-led coalition fighting against them since 2015, was a target for their missiles.
Saudi Arabia has been leading a destructive military campaign against Yemen since March 2015 to reinstate former president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi and crush the Houthi movement.
The campaign has seriously damaged the country’s infrastructure. Local Yemeni sources have put the death toll from the Saudi war at over 12,000, including many women and children.
