Houthi rebels in Yemen strike UAE with drone attack
On Monday, Houthi rebels carried out drone attacks from Yemen against the United Arab Emirates, killing three people in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE 鈥� which has been a member of the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis, and officially backing Yemen鈥檚 government since March 2015, has until now largely stayed out of the firing line.
Thomas Juneau is a fellow at the University of Ottawa with the Sana'a Centre for Strategic Studies.
He says, "I'm assuming that the UAE will try to strike back at the Houthi's while doing that in a bit of a surgical way to try to limit the scope of escalation as much as possible."
