Yemeni forces thwarted Houthi drone attacks on the oil terminal

The Yemeni government has said that "on Friday, the security forces have foiled a Houthi drone attack on an oil terminal in Hazra Mut province". 

According to al-Riyadh newspaper, the commissioner of Hazra Mutt, Mekhot bin Ghazal, said that "Houthis supported by Iran have carried out two drone attacks on Al-Duzbah oil port in the eastern district of Shahir of Al-Mukalla city". 

Ammunition-carrying drones were sent to Al-Duzbah oil port when an oil tanker arrived at Al-Duzbah port. There was no damage from the drone attacks. The Commissioner of Hazra Mutt said that two weeks ago, the Houthis also attacked the Al-Nishamah oil port of the Shabwah Commissionerate.

There was no harm from that either. At the beginning of this month, the Houthis threatened to attack oil facilities, oil companies and oil cargo companies in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. 

In addition, the Yemeni government has said that the aim of the drone attack is to endanger shipping. This will sabotage reconciliation efforts. 

The Yemeni government said in a statement that the "attempted attack on Al-Dazbah port proved again that Iran is allegedly sponsoring terrorism and that drones are being used for it."
