YPC: Coalition seizes new gasoline ship

SANAA, Jul. 12 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) on Tuesday said that the Saudi-led coalition, in conjunction with its release of a ship, seized a new gasoline ship, in clear violation of the UN-brokered armistice.

The company’s official spokesman, Issam Al-Mutawakel, said in a statement that “Coinciding with the release of the diesel ship ‘Princess Khadija’, the US-led aggression coalition continues to violate the armistice and seize the gasoline ship ‘Ann Victus’.”

Al-Mutawakel indicated that the coalition forcibly took the gasoline ship off Jizan, despite it has been inspected and obtained entry permits from the United Nations, which did not put an end to piracy, either before or during the announced truce.
