Yemen's Saudi-backed government said on Friday its forces had intercepted armed drones launched against a southern oil terminal by Houthi fighters as an oil tanker was preparing to dock.
A Yemeni government official said Houthi drones attacked al-Dhabba oil terminal, located in the town of al-Shihr in Hadhramaut province, as the oil tanker Nissos was preparing to enter the terminal.
"We renew our warning to all companies to fully comply with the decisions of the authorities in Sanaa and shun away from any contribution to the looting of Yemeni resources," a statement from the Houthi armed forces said. Yemen’s oil output has collapsed since 2015 when a Saudi-backed military coalition intervened in Yemen’s war to try to restore the internationally recognised government to power. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates Yemen has proven oil reserves of around 3 billion barrels.
Marshall Islands-flagged Nissos KEA oil tanker was moving "within zone" on Friday outside al-Dhabba in the Gulf of Aden, Refinitiv data showed.
