By Murad Erifi

SANAA (AA) - Yemen’s Houthi rebel group on Thursday claimed to have targeted Abu Dhabi’s international airport with an unmanned aerial drone.

According to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah television channel, the drone fired a number of projectiles at the airport.

The claim, which has yet to be verified, comes a day after Saudi Arabia suspended oil shipments through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in response to an alleged Houthi attack on two oil tankers off Yemen’s western coast.
