UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has said that the air traffic movement in the country is normal and all flights are operating as usual.

 

The statement follows UAE's air defence forces intercepting and destroying a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist group at the UAE.

 

In a statement, the GCAA said: ''There is no impact on flights and airports resulting from the interception of the ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist militia on the country.''

 

The GCAA also called on the public to refer to official sources for all information and udpates.

 

Earlier, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement: "There were no casualties resulting from the attack and the fragments of the ballistic missile fell outside of populated areas.

 

It added: "The UAE air defence forces and the Coalition Command had succeeded in destroying the missile launcher in Yemen after identifying locations of the sites."

 

The ministry affirmed its "full readiness to deal with any threats," adding that it will "take all necessary measures to protect the UAE from any attacks."
