Allies of Yemen’s president found weapons bound for Iran-aligned Houthi forces on trucks with Omani license plates, although there was no evidence of any link to Omani authorities, who are neutral in Yemen’s war, a daily reported on Sunday.
Al-Hayat newspaper quoted Marib governor Sultan Al-Arada as saying the vehicles carrying “explosives and weapons” had been en route from the Yemeni province of Hadramout to the Houthi-held Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
Arada is an ally of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, whose supporters.
Omani officials were not immediately available for a comment. Arada was also out of the country and could not immediately be reached for a comment.
“Arada did not confirm an external link to that shipment, indicating that the trucks were carrying Omani license plates but it was not possible to confirm any Omani authorities’ connection to that,” Al-Hayat said.
