Yemeni government forces intercept Houthi drones attacking southern oil terminal

RIYADH, 22 October 2022, (TON): Yemen’s internationally-recognized government said its forces had intercepted armed drones launched on a southern oil terminal in Hadramout province by Houthi militants as an oil tanker was preparing to dock.
A Yemeni government official said Houthi drones attacked Al-Dhabba oil terminal, located in the southern town of Al-Shihr, as Nissos oil tanker was preparing to enter the terminal.
Nissos was scheduled to load 2 million barrels of crude from the terminal, the official said, adding that there was no damage to the port and the tanker.
The office of Hadramout’s governor Mabkhout bin Madi confirmed the attack to Reuters.
