        Yemen's Houthi rebels used cruise and ballistic missiles, in addition to drones, in an attack on Abu Dhabi this week that killed three people and set off fires at a fuel depot and an international airport, the Emirati ambassador to the United States said Wednesday.
        
        The remarks by Ambassador Yousef Al-Otaiba marked an official acknowledgement that missiles — and not just drones — were used in Monday's attack, claimed by the Iran-backed Houthis.
        
        "Several attacks — a combination of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and drones — targeted civilian sites" in the United Arab Emirates, Al-Otaiba said.
        "Several were intercepted, a few of them didn’t and three innocent civilians unfortunately lost their lives,"
