SAUDI ARABIA REPORTS TWO PEOPLE INJURED BY A FALLING MISSILE AFTER THE UAE INTERCEPTS A HOUTHI ATTACK

By -

The protest on Monday was the UAE's second since a strike on a gasoline storage in Abu Dhabi last week, which killed three people and caused a fire near the country's international airport.

Following a tragic strike a week ago, the UAE's defence ministry said it intercepted and destroyed two Houthi ballistic missiles aimed at the Gulf country on Monday, with no casualties.

The Houthis have been fighting a Saudi-led coalition, which includes the UAE, for more than six years, conducting cross-border missile and drone assaults on Saudi Arabia and an unprecedented attack on the UAE on January 17.

"Remains of the intercepted ballistic missiles fell in different areas around Abu Dhabi," the ministry said, adding that it was taking all necessary precautions against any attacks.

Newspaper in the United Arab Emirates Residents reported seeing sparkles in the sky over the capital at 4.30 a.m., according to the National.

The protest on Monday was the UAE's second since a strike on a gasoline storage in Abu Dhabi last week, which killed three people and caused a fire near the country's international airport.

Al Masirah television, which is controlled by the Houthis, said the group would disclose the details of a "broad military operation" against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates within hours.

The alliance intercepted a ballistic missile early Monday, according to Saudi official media, with remnants injuring workshops and vehicles in the kingdom's south. It stated late Sunday that a ballistic missile had struck in the south, hurting two foreigners and damaging an industrial area.

Yemen is widely regarded as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The UN, which has been working with the US to broker a truce in Yemen, has expressed alarm over the escalation and urged all parties to exercise greatest caution.

In Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition has increased air raids on what it calls Houthi objectives.

On Friday, at least 60 people were murdered in a strike on a temporary detention centre in northern Saada province, and on Tuesday, roughly 20 people were killed in an operation in the Houthi-held capital of Sanaa.

In March 2015, the coalition intervened in Yemen after the Houthis overthrew the internationally recognised government in Sanaa. According to the group, it is fighting a corrupt system as well as foreign assault.

Due to a military standoff, the UAE reduced its presence in Yemen in 2019, but Emirati-backed Yemeni forces have lately resumed hostilities against the Houthis in important energy-producing areas.

  Mumbai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Wednesday that the Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer (CLASS), a payload on board the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, had discovered solar proton events (SPEs), which considerably increase radiation exposure to humans in space. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), a tremendous torrent of ionised material and magnetic fields that reach Earth a few days later, causing geomagnetic storms and lighting up the polar sky with auroras, were also observed by the sensor on January 18. According to the ISRO, such multi-point measurements helps in the understanding of propagation and its impact on various planetary systems. Solar flares are dramatic explosions that occasionally spew out energetic particles (called Solar Proton Events or SPEs) into interplanetary space when the Sun is active. The majority of these are high-energy protons that have an influence on space systems and increase radiation exposure to astronauts. According ...
