The United Arab Emirates said on Monday that it shot down a missile fired by Yemen’s Houthis, which occurred as Israeli President Isaac Herzog was visiting the country.
The UAE’s defense ministry said it intercepted and destroyed the projectile, pieces of which fell in unpopulated areas, according to Reuters. Authorities did not, however, say specifically where the missile was heading.
The Houthis said they executed “a large-scale military operation deep inside the U.A.E.,” according to The Wall Street Journal, adding that they would reveal additional details at a later time.
