UNITED NATIONS (HRNW) – The United Arab Emirates demanded on Tuesday an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council to address the deadly drone attack on its capital by Yemen s Huthi rebels.
Earlier in the day, the Saudi-led military coalition — of which the UAE is a member — received harsh criticism from the UN secretary-general for launching deadly counterstrikes against the Huthis.
“The United Arab Emirates calls on the Security Council to speak with one voice and join in firmly and unequivocally condemning these terrorist attacks,” said the UAE s ambassador to the UN, Lana Nusseibeh, in a letter to the Security Council s president.
“This illegal and alarming escalation is a further step in the Huthis efforts to spread terrorism and chaos in our region,” she added.
The Huthis used drones to drop explosives on Abu Dhabi, the UAE s capital city, killing three people and injuring six.
