CAIRO, Jan 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned attacks by Yemen's Houthi movement on the United Arab Emirates on Monday in a phone call with his Emirati counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, UAE's state news agency WAM reported.

The Iran-aligned Houthi group attacked the UAE in what the group said was an operation using missiles and drones, setting off explosions in fuel trucks that killed three people and causing a fire near the airport of Abu Dhabi.
