128 US soldiers arrive at Aden airport with all military equipment

ADEN, March 17 (YPA) – A big US military transport plane at noon on Tuesday arrived in Aden airport, southern Yemen, carrying 128 American soldiers and officers with all their equipment, media sources reported.

“The American forces intend to settle in Al-Anad base,” sources told Yemen Press Agency, adding that the forces are still at Aden port.

During the past few days, American forces arrived in Shabwa province, southeast Yemen.

Local media revealed that an American force consisting of 110 soldiers, reinforced by 10 Black Hawk planes, 30 armored vehicles of Harvey type, four Patriot air defense systems, and an integrated field operations room, have arrived at the coast of Balhaf port in Shabwa.

According to the sources, two American warship docked at Balhaf, the most important LNG export port in Yemen.

Observers see that these intensive American moves in the occupied Yemeni provinces aimed at preparing the ground for a possible US military intervention and for building American military bases on Yemeni soil.

These moves also confirm the fact of the aggression against Yemen and that it is an American-Israeli aggression by all means.

The American forces present in the Balhaf oil port began their military movements in Yemen, accompanied by Emirati forces, in a move considered by observers to be a violation of Yemen’s sovereignty, as well as being a transgression of the mercenary government (Hadi’s government).

Local sources in Shabwa confirmed that “the US forces stopped fishing in the territorial waters on the eastern coast of Yemen, in conjunction with the UAE announcement of starting joint exercises.”

The sources said that “about 3000 Yemeni fishermen suffer due to preventing them from sailing deep in the waters of the Gulf of Aden to fish, and they received warnings against approaching areas where American ships are sailing.”
