Mansour added, that “there are other forces on board a ship on its way to the port of Nishtun in Mahrah, located on the Arabian Sea.”
This came after the arrival of a ship carrying 80 containers of weapons to the port of Nishtun last week, which was emptied and detained at the Ataq command axis of the Saudi-led coalition.
It was said that it belongs to the leader of the Islah party, Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar.
