The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) said on Saturday that the aggression coalition detained a new diesel vessel.

The official spokesman of the company Essam Al-Mutawakel told SABA that the aggression coalition had seized the oil vessel "Yuhud", which was loaded with 31,959 tons of diesel.

He pointed out that the aggression coalition has forcibly taken the vessel to the detention area off the coast of Jizan despite being cleared by the United Nations.

With the seizure of this vessel, the number of fuel vessels detained rises to three.

The aggression's maritime piracy and the seizure of fuel vessels will negatively affect the performance of the service sectors and exacerbate the citizens' suffering, al-Mutawakel said.
