In the wake of the Abu Dhabi terror attacks, a Saudi-led coalition has led airstrikes on Houthi held locations in Yemen.

In 24 hours, the coalition has carried out 17 target operations, which destroyed 9 military vehicles and killed 80 terrorists.

Saudi Arabia has been unequivocal in its support to the UAE following rare attacks on civilian infrastructures that claimed 3 lives in Abu Dhabi this week. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, received a phone call from His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of Saudi Arabia who condemned the acts of terrorism.

The two leaders affirmed that such terrorist attacks that target the Kingdom of Saudi Araba and the UAE solidify the two nations’ determination to jointly stand up to these acts of aggression and added that these terrorist attacks affirm the need for the international community to stand up to these flagrant violations of international laws and norms and to condemn these terrorist crimes that threaten regional and international peace and security, according to Wam.ae.
