Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Md. Muddassir Quamar’s article ‘Drone attacks in UAE underline widening Yemen conflict’ has been published in Financial Express on 20 January, 2022.
The drone attacks on the UAE is a serious escalation in the ongoing conflict in Yemen. By mounting attacks inside the UAE, the Houthis want to increase the cost of war for the UAE, and bring international attention to the conflict in Yemen. The risk is that it will widen the Yemen war to a regional conflict with huge costs not only for the regional actors but also for the international community, says Dr Quamar.
