Three fuel tankers exploded today (Monday) in Abu Dhabi, and authorities in the United Arab Emirates suspect that they were attacked by unmanned aircraft.

An explosion also occurred at a construction site at the city's international airport.

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for an attack on the Emirates, which supports the Yemeni government.
