A spokesperson for the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen has threatened to launch missiles targeting the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In comments carried by Saba news agency, Brigadier General Sharaf Ghaleb Loqman said on Friday that "Abu Dhabi is no longer safe after today".
Loqman also warned investors in Dubai and Abu Dhabi to take his remarks seriously.
The statement comes amid reported advances by UAE-backed forces on the crucial port city of Hodeida in western Yemen.
The Houthi movement would effectively be under a land, sea and air blockade if they lose control of the Hodeida, the country's third-largest city.
Yemen, the Arab world's poorest country, has been wracked for more than three years by a bloody war between the Houthis and supporters of the resigned Hadi regime which is backed by the Saudi-led coalition.
