The 84-second footage films an unmanned aerial vehicle as hovering over "Abu Dhabi airport," and then swiftly landing and exploding at a truck parking in the airport yard.
"The Sammad3 UAV caused damages on the traveler building (1)," said the channel, hailing the video as a security infiltration, as well as the Houthi military gain.
No immediate comment has be issued by the UEA on the Houthi video.
On 26 July last year, Houthi said they hit the Emirati airport, whose authorities claimed then that a vehicle caused an incident in the facility yard.
Less than one month after the event, Houthi spokesman said the attack had left 14 people injured and damages inside the airport, before Minister Gargash denied.
On 27 August and 30 September last year, the Iranian-backed group claimed its drone force attacked Dubai airport, but Abu Dhabi denied too.
