Yemen reveals maritime pollution in Gulf of Aden

Yemeni authorities revealed presence of maritime pollution in the Gulf of Aden, accusing a Yemeni businessman of causing this pollution. 

Interior Ministry said that the pollution was caused by diesel leaking into the sea, pointing out that the coastguards’ investigations showed the involvement of the al-Amodi Company during their construction project of a maritime bridge. 

Last month, the Ministry formed a committee to investigate a similar pollution incident in the province of Hodeidah.
