The United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation condemned on Monday the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen for carrying out an attack against the UAE.
"We reiterate that those responsible for this unlawful targeting of our country will be held accountable," it said in a statement carried by the state news agency (WAM).
"The UAE reserves the right to respond to these terrorist attacks and criminal escalation, describing them as crimes committed in flagrant violation of international law," it continued.
The ministry said that the terrorist militias "have carried out a cowardly act to spread terrorism and chaos in the region" in order to achieve their illegal aims and objectives. It called on the international community to "strongly condemn and denounce these terrorist acts that target civilians and civilian facilities."
