DUBAI - Three fuel trucks exploded, killing three people, and a fire broke out near Abu Dhabi airport on Monday in what Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group said was an attack deep inside the United Arab Emirates.

Unverified footage on social media showed a thick plume of black smoke billowing from what appeared to be the Musaffah area. The move could heighten tensions between the UAE and Iran after outreach to Teheran by Abu Dhabi to avoid any regional conflict that could hurt the OPEC producer's economic ambitions.

UAE authorities and ADNOC did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. The coalition's spokesman did not immediately respond.
