In a third such recent attack, a ballistic missile, which was fired by Houthi rebels of Yemen, was intercepted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) early on Monday. &nbsp; &nbsp;

This comes as the Israeli president has visited the country, the authorities said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

"The attack did not result in any losses, as the remnants of the ballistic missile fell outside the populated areas,” said the UAE's state-run WAM news agency, while reporting the interception. &nbsp;

It was not immediately clear where the missile remnants fell. &nbsp;&nbsp;

There was no immediate effect on air travel in the UAE, the country's civilian air traffic control agency said. &nbsp;

The Emirati Defense Ministry has also released black-and-white footage, which it said to be showing the destruction of a ballistic missile launcher in Yemen's al-Jawf province just 30 minutes after the attack. &nbsp;

On Twitter, Houthi military spokesman Yehia Sarei wrote that the rebels would make an announcement about an attack in the coming hours that reached into "the depths of the UAE." &nbsp;

Sarei did not elaborate. Airstrikes had begun targeting Sanaa, Yemen's rebel-held capital, reported the Houthis' Al-Masirah satellite news channel. &nbsp;
