“Videos of recent airstrikes on Abu Dhabi”
What FACTLY found
It is true that Houthi rebels carried out airstrikes on Abu Dhabi recently. However, the viral visuals are not related to the recent incident. While most of the visuals are related to a fire accident caused in a supermarket back in 2015 and 2020 in Saudi Arabia, one video is related to airstrike carried by Houthi rebels on Abu Dhabi in 2019
