Houthi rebels claim attacks on Dubai airport, Saudi seaport
Sanaa, Sep 30 : Yemen's Shia Houthi rebels launched on Sunday two "unique" cross-border attacks against the Unites Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia, according to a statement carried by rebel-controlled Saba news agency.
According to the statement, the first attack was carried out by a Sammad-3 drone on Dubai international airport.
The second attack was conducted by the rebels' naval forces on military boats carrying Saudi border guards off the Saudi Red Sea port city of Jazan.
The Houthi statement, however, did not provide evidence of the two operations.
Meanwhile, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia have yet to officially comment on Houthi claims.
"The Dubai International Airport was operating as normal without any interruption," some news reports quoted a spokesman of Dubai international airport as saying.
Last month, the UAE denied a similar drone attack on Dubai airport.
Houthi rebels have recently escalated ballistic missile attacks on Saudi border cities, but most of the missiles were intercepted and destroyed without causing casualties.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been targeted by Yemeni Houthi rebels for leading an Arab coalition fighting against them in Yemen since March 2015.
The Houthis say their missile attacks were launched in response to the coalition airstrikes on Houthi-controlled lands in Yemen.
The Houthi rebels have seized control over much of the country's north, including the capital Sanaa, since September 2014 when they ousted the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
