NCRI - The Yemeni Defense Ministry said Thursday it has seized another Iranian vessel smuggling weapons into a Yemen near the Bab el- Mandeb Strait off the Red Sea coasts.
"The vessel, Jihan, was seized along with the Yemeni fishing boat by the Yemeni Navy and was moved to the Aden port for inspection," the ministry said in a statement on its website.
Yemen had said it captured an Iranian boat, Jihan 1, in last January, pointing out that the vessel included surface-to-air missiles used to shoot down civilian and military aircraft, C4 military-grade explosives, 122-millimeter shells, rocket-propelled grenades and bomb-making equipment, including electronic circuits, remote triggers and other hand-held explosives.
