A deadly drone attack by Yemen’s Houthis on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has exposed the country’s vulnerability, analysts say, while also jeopardising its reputation as a tourism and business hub and pushing it towards rapprochement with Iran.
The attack on Monday targeted a key oil facility in Abu Dhabi, killing three people, and also caused a fire at Abu Dhabi’s international airport. It attracted international condemnation and a pledge for retaliation from the UAE.
