FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On Sunday Yemen’s Saba News agency, quoting an unnamed official, said that tribesmen have blown up the pipeline in Wadi Abida, in the province of Marib.
The flow of crude oil has been interrupted as a result of the explosion.
The bomb blast halted the flow of oil along the 320 kilometer pipeline linking the Safer oilfields to the export terminal in the province of Hodeida.
According to the official, the blast is the “second act of sabotage by the same group in 10 days.”
The tribesmen are demanding the government to release at least one prisoner.
On June 27, Yemeni officials said an attack was carried out at a pipeline in Marib’s Sarwah area.
Over the past two years, insurgents and tribesmen have repeatedly attacked oil and gas pipelines in Yemen in a bid to win concessions from the central government, causing fuel shortages and slashing export earnings in the impoverished country.
Yemen produces some 300,000 barrels of oil, mostly to be exported, on a daily basis.
Last December, at least 17 people lost their lives after the Yemeni Army launched an offensive against tribesmen suspected of sabotaging the pipeline.
Official figures show lost production due to pipeline attacks in the east cost to be more than USD one billion in 2012, while oil exports fell by 4.5 percent.
