  The UAE intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis and destroyed the launching site in Yemen, the defense ministry said early on Monday.
  The ministry added that the interception of the missile resulted in no damages, as the debris fell in unpopulated areas.

  The defense ministry also said: “UAE air defence forces and the Coalition Command have succeeded in destroying the missile launcher in Yemen after identifying locations of the sites.”
  It stressed “full readiness” to deal with any threat, and vowed to take all necessary measures to protect the country.
  The General Authority of Civil Aviation insisted air traffic is operating as usual, operations of all flights are running normally, and there is no impact on airports as a result of the Houthi ballistic missile.
  
  
  
  This marks the third cross border aerial attack by the Houthis against the UAE in less than three weeks.
  On January 17 the Houthis launched a deadly attack using cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as drones, to target Abu Dhabi. The strike led to a fire breaking out and the explosion of three petroleum tankers, killing three people and wounding six others.
  That was followed by another attack against Abu Dhabi on January 24, but UAE authorities said they successfully intercepted the two Houthi ballistic missiles with no casualties. The UAE revealed then it had coordinated efforts with US forces at Al Dhafra Air Base near Abu Dhabi.
  The Houthis have threatened to keep targeting the UAE so long as it backs groups in Yemen fighting against the militia.
  The UAE is part of the Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia which intervened in Yemen in 2015 to restore the internationally recognized government of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
  The Arab Coalition and pro-government groups have been making gains in Yemen, reclaiming provinces from under the control of the Houthis.

They are impoverished people, even more poor than Pakistan. They walk on sandals and have 50 year old rifles. Do you promise to teach them a lesson when the war goes into its 8th year?

Considering that the gulfies have been quite literally bombing the hell out of yemen for years now with little,if indeed anything,to show for it,apart that is from the war now starting to reach out and touch them in their nice little [formerly safe] cozy vassaldoms.
Under those circumstances,one rather strongly gets the feeling that it is not in fact the houthis who are failing to "learn their lesson" here.

They are killing their enemies, so much so that Houthies are desperate to force young kids to fight for them, I am sure they are doing something right...

Average quality of life in Iran is much better than Pakistan to be honest. Less trash, more cleaner, less population, more developed infrastructure, better educated population, better female literacy rate etc. lolzz.

Pakistan had more population than entire Iran even when you grandpa was in diapers. Pakistan has historically been home to high density population mainly bcz of five rivers that flow in it. Go read about indus valley civilization before making stupid puns about poverty and overpopulation. As for Trash you IRGC fanboys probably have never been outside tehran. Time to grow up.

With all this baggage you say, we were still able to produce high class nuclear program and get nukes to your flapping around still program. Even our nuclear sales guy scientist helped you in this. Says a lot on your own education and oil u had to be helped by our corrupt Pakistanis your a joke to mate.

No its not, infact average quality of lofe in iran is way below Pakistan. Less trash? Lolz have u seen islamabad, Peshawar and other areas? Maybe only trash in karachi in outakirts due to large population. How is less population any better? We have a bigger manpower and bigger market. Better female literacy?? Lolz u lash women for going outside without become ninja and u claim that lolz.

I visit border areas often and on iranian border i find iranians begging for barter trade and would kiss ur feet for dollars, why they do that if they have a better average living standard? We have a saying for ppl like u. Baatein caroro ki air dukan pakoro ki.
