Video Summary
This Al Jazeera English segment titled Has a dangerous new phase of the war in Yemen begun? examines escalating tensions between the UAE and Houthi forces. The program notes that despite Saudi Arabia separating the two nations, the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi has become a target in Yemen's ongoing civil conflict. On Monday, the UAE intercepted two missiles over Abu Dhabi, an event occurring one week after Houthi drones struck locations resulting in at least three deaths.
