Target: Burj Khalifa

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Houthi military propaganda has taken to the topic of attacks on the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, threatening to destroy the tallest building in the world with drone and ballistic missile attacks. The main leitmotif is that being in this building is no longer safe and Ansar Allah considers the skyscraper as a legitimate military target due to the continued bombing of Yemeni cities.

Also among the stated desired targets are an international airport, Expo Center 2022 and other large buildings in the center of the UAE capital.

In addition to the threats themselves, the Houthis thus seek to inflict indirect economic damage on the UAE, scaring away business.

Plus, do not forget about Abu Dhabi International Airport and other targets.

Yesterday there was a strange explosion at the Dubai Expo, after which the building was evacuated:



(A drone hit is suspected - the UAE denies this).

At night, a ballistic missile was launched at Dubai, which was shot down by the forces of the Dubai air defense center. The destruction of the launcher in Yemen was also announced (but here 50 to 50 - the last time the emirates gave out a truck stop for the destruction of the launcher).

Several citizens have been arrested in the UAE for posting videos of attacks on social media. Military censorship is trying to block any evidence of successful hits on Dubai so as not to give the Houthis additional propaganda material.

The Houthis themselves claim a successful complex operation using drones and missiles. Yesterday's attacks were timed to coincide with the visit of the Israeli President to the UAE and led to a disruption in the departure schedule. Yemeni sources joke that Ansar Allah sent gifts to two "lovers". The Houthis promise to provide more details of the attacks on the UAE during the day.

At night, in retaliation for these attacks, the Emirates and the Saudis again bombed Sanaa. 8 airstrikes reported.

The bombing of Sanaa has been ongoing since 2015. This is to the question of who is to blame for the attacks on Dubai.

PS. And also in Yemen.

1. According to the UN, in 2021, more than 1,500 underage soldiers who fought on the side of the Houthis died on the fronts of the Yemeni war.

2. Houthi air defenses shot down another "Scan Eagle" UAV Already the 7th in recent months:



3. Houthi troops recaptured part of the territory in southern Marib, which they lost in January as a result of the offensive of the emirates' forces. They use the withdrawal of "Amaliki" from the front.

4. It is also worth noting that the Houthis sent a farewell podzhopnik to the forces of the Amalika brigade withdrawn from the front in South Marib, launching a ballistic missile at the area of concentration of forces that were awaiting orders to depart for the southern provinces.
