Very high nuclear radiation detected in coast of Aden

ADEN, June 21 (YPA) -There is a very high rate of nuclear radiation, which has been measured in the water of the seas and coasts surrounding the city of Aden, Technical sources revealed on Tuesday.

The sources confirmed that a radiometer was used on seawater and on a sample of fish and marine life and the results were very shocking, as a high percentage of atomic radiation appeared.

The sources pointed out that atomic radiation is a major cause of infection of citizens with various cancers and tumors.

Moreover, the sources said it caused an increase of cancer cases among the people of Aden and the southern and eastern governorates.

The sources confirmed that we have already warned of nuclear waste that Saudi-led coalition’s countries throw on the Yemeni coasts, the latest of which is the dumping of French nuclear waste, but the pro-coalition government kept silent.

Large quantities of fish have recently been seen dying off the coasts of Abyan, Aden, Hadramout and Mahra, likely to have been exposed to nuclear marine contamination.

According to “Aden Al-Ghad”, fishermen said that giant foreign ships threw “chemical” waste 3 nautical miles from the coast of Aden, explaining that this waste was placed in cartons and plastic bags in order to not be  mixed with water.

Photos and videos circulated by activists showed huge quantities of the debris, likely nuclear, near from the land.
