The company reported that the number of seized ships increased to five oil ships.
The company reported last August that the Saudi coalition against Yemen had seized a new oil ship.
It is noteworthy that the oil company confirmed earlier today that the coalition detained three oil ships, including a ship loaded with gas, and two oil ships, with a total tonnage of 59,966 tons of gasoline and diesel.
In parallel, the Yemeni forces announced two days ago the seizure of an Emirati military cargo ship.
