US occupation forces release Emirati arms ship in Hadhramaut

HADHRAMAUT, June 29 (YPA) – US occupation forces stationed on Yemen’s east coast on Monday released an Emirati arms ship hours after it was detained, Yemen News Portal reported on Monday.

The UAE ship was intercepted by the US forces in the territorial waters of Yemen.

Local sources said that the ship was on its way to the port of Belhaf in Shabwah before being intercepted by the US forces and took it to the port of Ash-Shihr.

The Ash-Shihr port is being occupied by US forces and use it as military base.

According to the sources, the release came after the arrival of Emirati officers who boarded two helicopters from the occupied base in Mukalla city to Ash-Shihr.

The sources confirmed that UAE forces unloaded the ship under heavy guard and transported it to the al-Rayyan airport, to be distributed later to its followers in the province.

The arrival of the arms shipment came two days after the return of the UAE’s security director, Munir Tamimi to his post, in the light of the detention of Hadi’s Governor Faraj al-Buhsani in an indication of the UAE’s arrangements to blow up the situation in the most important provinces of Yemen.
