The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) militias have seized fuel tankers designated for the province of Taiz, in Tor Al-Baha district of Lahj province, southern Yemen.
Informed sources reported that the STC militia in the Tor al-Baha area prevented, on Friday, the passage of fuel tankers in Al-Hadid area, demanding drivers to pay exorbitant fees.
The STC militia is causing a stifling fuel crisis in several northern provinces due to the detention of tankers in various areas, and the prevention of their passage except to those who pay big sums of money.
