The European Union (EU) strongly condemned the attack by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militias on the commercial ship (MINERVAGRACHT), which flies the Dutch flag in the Gulf of Aden.
Oil prices rose today, Thursday, ending a three-day losing streak, recovering from their lowest levels in 16 weeks, but expectations of increased supply from "OPEC+" next month limited the gains.
Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik praised the military's recent gains against Houthi fighters in the city of Qaatabah in Dhale'a province north of the temporary capital Aden.
In a phone conversation with Maj. Gen. Fadhl Hassan the commander of the 4th military Region responsible for combat in the area, Abdulmalik praised the army's warriors for repelling the Houthi brief invasion of the city and the role of the Arab Coalition in supporting them.
He said that the militia is now worn down and nearing its collapse.
