Cruise missiles and ballistic missiles were used alongside drones in Monday's attack on the United Arab Emirates, and several weapons were intercepted, the UAE ambassador to the United States said.
It was the first time the UAE, which rarely discusses its security in public, had said missiles were used in the attack which killed three civilians in Abu Dhabi, and the first time it has claimed to have intercepted some of the weapons.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group has claimed it carried out the attack with five ballistic missiles and a number of drones. Abu Dhabi police had said they found parts of small planes that could possibly be drones, but made no mention of missiles.
