After the threats of “STC”: UAE transports military shipment from Socotra to Hadhramaut

HADHRAMAUT, Jul. 25 (YPA) – The UAE occupation forces transported a military shipment from Socotra Island to Al-Rayyan Airport in Mukalla city, Hadramaut province, local sources  said on Sunday .

The sources pointed out that the UAE weapons were transferred from the island, to be handed over to the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s militia.

The UAE move came after STC leaders threatened to ban meetings (Hadi’s government) and a group of pro-coalition parliamentarians in Seiyun, Hadhramaut.

For the second time, the STC’s leader Ahmed Bin Brik threatened to prevent meetings of Hadi’s government and Hadi parliament’s members in Seiyun city.

UAE occupation forces have controlled Al Rayyan airport since 2016, when they turned it into a military barracks and a prison for opponents in Hadramaut.
