Air defence systems in the United Arab Emirates capital of Abu Dhabi were activated after again detecting incoming hostile projectiles early Monday morning. The UAE Defence Ministry has confirmed the thwarting of two ballistic missiles targeting the UAE capital city. No casualties have been reported. Footage, reportedly from the scene, showed air defence systems intercepting enemy targets. At least four loud explosions were heard by witnesses in the city. At least one of the targets engaged by the Patriot Air Defence network is believed to have been a UAV equipped with an improvised explosive device. Air traffic has been temporarily suspended in the surrounding area. Last week's deadly strike used a variety of missiles, as well as drones. The latter prompted the UAE's Interior Ministry to announce the mandated grounding of all commercial drones and light sport aircraft. The ministry warned that those found in violation of the order will face "legal liabilities" that include up to three years behind bars and fines of up to the equivalent of $27,000, per the Khaleej Times. Certain exemptions will be granted on a case-by-case basis, particularly for companies. Yemen's armed political Houthi faction claimed responsibility for the early January attack targeting the Abu Dhabi airport and an oil refinery in the district of Musaffah. The group confirmed its deployment of at least five ballistic missiles and several drones.
