The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) announced on Tuesday that a new oil ship was seized by the Saudi-led aggression coalition, in a new violation of the UN-brokered truce.
The company’s spokesman, Essam Al-Mutawakel, said in a statement to Saba News that the aggression coalition seized the ship “Princess Halima”, which is carrying 23,920 tons of gasoline, and prevented it from reaching the port of Hodeidah despite it having been inspected and given entry permits by the United Nations.

Al-Mutawakel confirmed that “the coalition is still practicing piracy on fuel ships obtaining entry permits from the United Nations, which was unable to let in ships of a humanitarian character, either before or during the announced truce.”
