YPC: Saudi-led coalition seizes new fuel ship

SANAA, Aug. 27 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) announced on Saturday that the US-backed Saudi-led coalition held a new diesel ship, despite obtaining entry permits from the United Nations.

The company’s official spokesman, Issam Al-Mutawakel, said that the coalition detained the diesel ship “Tiara” despite it has been inspected and given entry permits by the United Nations, in a new and deliberate violation of the temporary truce.

Al-Mutawakel pointed out that the United Nations had not played any positive role in curbing acts of piracy, indicating that the number of held ships had risen to four fuel ships.
