TEHRAN, Aug. 21 (MNA) – The oil minister of the National Salvation Government of Yemen released statistics that show that the Saudi-Emirati aggressor coalition has plundered billions of dollars of Yemeni oil since 2018.

Ahmad Abdullah Dares said that more than 130,041,500 barrels of oil have been looted by the Saudi-Emirati aggressor coalition from Yemen from July 2018 up to July 2022, Almasirah reported.

He pointed out that the Saudi coalition looted 31,627,000 barrels of oil, valued at $2,024,149,000, of Yemeni oil in 2021.

Meanwhile, according to the report, the Saudi-led coalition violated the ceasefire in Yemen 200 times in the past 24 hours.

The Saudi coalition violated the UN-brokered ceasefire by carrying out reconnaissance flights over the provinces of Ma’rib, Ta’iz, Al Jawf, Sa’ada, Al Hudaydah, Sana'a, Dhale, Al-Bayda, Hajjah, and the border operational roads.
