Abu Dhabi airport fire: 'Drone attack' kills three as oil tankers explode
Three people have been killed in a drone attack in Abu Dhabi which caused an explosion of three oil tankers and a fire at the city's airport extension.
Debris has been discovered at the sites of the blasts suggesting a "small plane" could be to blame, investigators said.
Yemen's Houthi movement today said it had carried out an attack on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but have yet to provide further details.
The three people were killed and six others wounded when three fuel tanker trucks exploded in the industrial Musaffah
area near storage facilities of oil firm ADNOC, state news agency WAM said.
It said those killed were two Indians and a Pakistani.
Additionally a fire broke out at a construction site at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
In a statement to state news agency WAM, police said: "Initial investigations found parts of a small plane that could possibly be a drone at both sites that could have caused the explosion and the fire."....
