YPC’s Director: Coalition continues to detain fuel ships to pressure Sanaa government

SANAA, Feb. 4 (YPA) – Executive Director of Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) Ammar Al-Adhrai said on Thursday the Saudi-led coalition continued to detain fuel vessels to pressure on Sanaa government.

In a statement to Al-Alam TV, Al-Adhrai indicated that the coalition’s continued piracy against fuel ships is causing great losses to the Yemeni.

Al-Adhrai added that the oil company’s stock has run out since mid-January, and all service sectors may stop in the coming days, indicating that no liter of fuel has entered since the beginning of January until today.

The coalition did not only detain fuel ships by sea, but also it holds smugglers’ trucks in Abyan, Al-Adhrai explained.

Al-Adhrai pointed out that the direct and indirect losses might exceed 20 billion dollars, calling on all free peoples of the world to demand the release of the Yemeni fuel ships held by the coalition.
