Oil tanker arrives in occupied Shabwah province to loot over 82 million dollars worth of Yemeni petroleum

The US-backed Saudi coalition continues to plunder Yemen’s oil wealth as it imposes a suffocating blockade on millions of Yemenis and wages a starving economic war.

An official source in the Ministry of Oil and Minerals in Sana’a said that a a new case of looting of Yemeni oil has taken place, this time totalling a value worth more than 100 billion Yemeni riyals.

A crude oil tanker ship named Seascout has reportedly arrived at Bir Ali port in the occupied Shabwah province, with the goal of looting 950,000 barrels of crude oil, a source told Al-Masirah News.

The Seascout is preparing to carry nearly 105,000 tons of crude oil, equivalent to $82 million, or 104 billion riyals, the source said.

The looting comes in light of the ongoing aggression and blockade on the Yemeni population, meant to further their suffering through creating oil crises and escalating an ongoing policy of starvation.
