YPC: US-Saudi aggression coalition detains new diesel ship

The Yemeni Petroleum Company’s official spokesman, Issam Al-Mutawakel, said on Friday that the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition detained the ship “Eships Barracuda ” carrying a quantity ( 4000 tons) of diesel, which belongs to World Food Programme (WFP), in the international waters.

The aggression forcibly took the ship to offshore Jizan, despite it being inspected and obtaining UN permits, bringing the number of sized fuel ships to nine ships, Al-Mutawakel explained.

The capital Sana’a and the other Yemeni provinces are witnessing a stifling fuel crisis due to the aggression’s seizure of oil ships and preventing their entry into the Hodeida port, despite obtaining UN permits.
