UAE-backed factions detain number of tankers loaded with fuel in Shabwa

SHABWA, April 04 (YPA) – The UAE-backed factions in Shabwa governorate detained a number of tankers loaded with fuel for the petro Messila power plant in Aden governorate, which is under the control of the coalition.

Aden electricity confirmed in a statement that the southern transitional elements of the UAE detained a number of tankers loaded with crude fuel in the Al-Nashima area in the coastal district of Radum and prevented them from crossing towards Aden.

Electricity appealed to the leadership of the local authority located in Abu Dhabi to intervene urgently to release the oil fuel tankers allocated to Aden electricity, stressing that Petro Messila plant is threatened with a complete shutdown due to the near running out of crude fuel.
