Emirati ship carrying military equipment arrived in Socotra

SOCOTRA, May 13 (YPA) – Informed sources revealed the arrival of an Emirati ship on Tuesday to Deleisha beach on the Socotra Island, carrying military equipment and mechanisms to enforce the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) on the island.

The sources confirmed that the ship headed from the UAE a week ago and has large military equipment in support of the STC militias in the Socotra archipelago.

They noted that the ship was carrying a number of the STC gunmen, including the leader of the Council, Mohammed Ahmed Fa’ahi, who was in Abu Dhabi.

The STC is rearranging its positions in preparation for a new battle against Islah’s forces on Socotra Island.
In recent days, the province of the Socotra archipelago has been witnessing violent clashes between Saudi-backed forces and the UAE-backed STC militias, as both sides continue to seek control of the island in order to achieve the objectives and agenda of the two coalition poles in Yemen.
