The Head of the national negotiating delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam, has on Monday confirmed that the seizure of the Emirati military ship by Yemeni coastal defence forces comes within the framework of countering the Saudi-led coalition’s war on Yemen.
“The successful and unprecedented operation in holding the Emirati military cargo ship is a legitimate right of the Yemeni people and comes within the framework of confronting the aggression and siege,” Abdulsalam said.
العملية النوعية وغير المسبوقة للقوات البحرية اليمنية أوقعت دول العدوان في حالة من التخبط بإصدارها بيانات متلاحقة ومتناقضة.
وما يبث لاحقا من صور للسفينة العسكرية ستلجم دول العدوان وتخرس إعلامه الزائف.— محمد عبدالسلام (@abdusalamsalah) January 3, 2022
Earlier in the day, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the detention of an Emirati military cargo ship in Yemeni waters which was carrying out hostile acts targeting the security and stability of the Yemeni people and republic.
