The Saudi-led coalition said on Monday that it had launched airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi insurgents, targeting the rebel-held capital Sanaa, following a terror attack on Abu Dhabi.

"F-15 attack aircraft destroyed two ballistic missile launchers that were in use on Monday,” confirming that “the perpetrators of hostile attacks on civilians in Saudi Arabia and the UAE will be held accountable,” Saudi Gazette reported.

In a statement issued on Monday, Brigadier General Turki Al Malki, the official Spokesperson of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, called the terror attacks on UAE's civilian facilities as war crimes and that perpetrators of this act would be held accountable.

A statement issued by the coalition Monday strongly condemned the attack by Houthi terrorist militia, vowing to undertake all necessary measures to deter such attacks against Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Saudi Arabia said it had intercepted eight bomb-laden drones on Monday targeting the Kingdom.
