UAE's National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, NCEMA, has denied claims made by Houthi militias in Yemen of a missile launch towards the UAE's airspace.

In a statement carried by the UAE News Agency (WAM), NCEMA emphasised that the UAE's air defence system is capable of dealing with any threats.

The authority noted that the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant has all necessary safety and security measures in place to avert crises.

NCEMA reassured the UAE's citizens and residents that the nation is safe and stressed that the country will always maintain its safety and security, continuing in its beliefs of peace and justice.

The authority went on to advise the general public not to pay attention to such rumours disseminated by media agencies issuing false news that question the UAE's capabilities, strength and security.
