The United Arab Emirates' Interior Ministry extended on Monday a decision to ground all private drones and light sports aircraft used for recreational purposes until further notice, state news agency WAM said.
The ministry's original decision was announced in January, following a deadly attack on the UAE by Yemen's Houthis.
The ministry did not refer directly to the Houthi attack in either statement.
