Emirati plane carrying foreign military officers arrives in occupied Socotra archipelago

An Emirati plane carrying 16 military commanders, including foreigners believed to be of British and Zionist entity nationality has arrived in the UAE-occupied Socotra archipelago, informed sources told Yemen Press Agency on Thursday.

The sources confirmed that British and Zionist military leaders arrived on the island, with the aim of putting the final touches on the planned Emirati-Zionist military base on Abdul-Kuri Island.

The UAE has carried out a 90-mile long military construction on Abdul-Kuri Island, in the west of Socotra archipelago, including a dirt runway, sea ports and roads, in addition to fencing an area as a monitoring center for the Zionist entity Navy towards the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab Strait near the Horn of Africa during the past six months, after the island’s residents were displaced to Qusayr area in Hadhramaut province.

The UAE also imposed its control over 6 oil sectors on the occupied island of Abdul-Kuri.
