According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean Foreign Ministry officials said in an interview with reporters on the 18th that the Houthis in Yemen attacked Abu Dhabi, which has nothing to do with the visit of the UAE led by South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and many countries in the region have been attacked by Houthis.

Moon jae-in is visiting the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. On the 16th, Moon Jae-in held talks with the UAE Prime Minister and Dubai Chief Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Dubai, and finalized the export of the "Tiangong 2" medium-range surface-to-air missile defense system to the UAE. Coincidentally, the Houthis carried out a drone attack on Abu Dhabi the next day, and some people believe that this move is related to the signing of the contract between the two countries, but the South Korean Foreign Ministry has denied it.

On the evening of the 17th local time, Yemen's Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarea issued a video statement, saying that on the same day, the Yemeni Houthi armed forces launched 5 ballistic missile attacks and a large number of drone attacks on a number of important sensitive targets in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
