As the nation marks the 'Day of Solidarity', UAE residents should tune in to the national anthem at 11am on January 17, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, and Crown Prince of Dubai, said.
Every year, January 17 commemorates the anniversary of the deadly 2022 Houthi rebel attack on civilian infrastructure. In 2022, the Houthis targeted the Musaffah ICAD 3 area and a construction site at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Three were killed and six injured as three petroleum tankers exploded.
