News - Yemen: Minister of Fisheries has put full responsibility for the oil spill in the port of Aden and other ports on the pro-aggression government after the sinking of an oil tanker off Aden port last Sunday.

"The UAE is also responsible for what is happening in the port of Aden and other ports, as it controls these areas and has spent a lot of money previously with the aim of disrupting the port of Aden," Mohammad Al-Zubayri stated to Almasirah on Saturday.

"The ships of the US-Saudi aggression drop oils and waste near the Yemeni coasts, with the systematic aim of disrupting the ports and affecting the marine environment," Al-Zubayri added.

He explained that the oil spill would affect fish, pastures and coral reefs.

He pointed out that, as a result of the waves and winds these days, the oil patch may expand to reach farther distances to neighboring countries, pointing out that the coalition of aggression destroyed much of the infrastructure in the Red Sea coasts and others.

"Our losses amount to10 billion dollars," Al-Zubayri added. "Furthermore, we have approximately 290 missed fishermen due to the systematic targeting of fishermen by the coalition of aggression."
