SANAA, Oct. 02 (YPA) – The Minister of Oil and Minerals in the National Salvation Government in Sanaa, Ahmed Daris, on Saturday said: “The Saudi-led aggression coalition and mercenaries looted the country’s wealth, and they should take the warning of the armed forces seriously.”
He added, in a statement, “Foreign and local companies operating in the occupied areas should stop tampering with the wealth of the Yemeni people and looting their capabilities.”
The Oil Minister stressed that as of Sunday, October 02, 2022, “all oil companies must stop extracting any barrel of oil for export abroad.”
