Three hostile drones were intercepted over the United Arab Emirates at dawn on Wednesday, the country's defense ministry said.
The drones managed to penetrate Emirati airspace but were destroyed away from populated areas, the ministry said on Twitter. It's unclear to whom the drones belonged. Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, a possible culprit, have not claimed responsibility. The UAE is a member of the Saudi-led coalition that has been at war with the Houthis since 2015.
The Saudi-led coalition responded with a weeklong offensive in Yemen, killing scores of people and knocking out the internet. In recent days, Houthi forces have launched several ballistic missiles aimed at US and UAE forces deployed in the country -- including one attack that came during Israeli President Isaac Herzog's historic visit to the country. The missiles launched in those attacks were intercepted by US-deployed Patriot missile defense systems, and there were no casualties.
