MOSCOW, January 24, Alexander Sergeev. Head of the Press Service of the Moscow Football Club «Spartak» Dmitry Zelenov said that the Yemeni Houthis attack on the UAE capital Abu Dhabi did not affect the team's training camp in any way. Earlier, the media reported that the Houthis launched ballistic missiles towards Abu Dhabi, which were shot down by the UAE air defense systems. Everything is unchanged with us,» Zelenov said. Armed confrontation between government forces and the Houthis has been going on in Yemen since August 2014. Since 2015, an Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has been fighting on the side of the government. Despite the fact that the UAE previously announced the end of participation in military operations in Yemen, they left their military at the military bases they created in Yemeni ports. In recent weeks, the UAE has taken part in government-led battles against the Houthis in several Yemeni provinces, including reclaiming areas in the southeastern province of Shebwa under government control.
