When will they learn? Almost twice the amount of ammonium nitrate (4,900 tons) which recently caused a massive explosion in Beirut, is being stored in the Yemeni port city of Aden by Saudi-Emirati occupation forces near a residential area

A report released by PressTV, the Iranian news agency is claiming almost twice the amount of ammonium nitrate which recently caused a massive explosion in Beirut, is being stored in the Yemeni port city of Aden by Saudi-Emirati occupation forces. Apparently, 4,900 tons of ammonium nitrate is stored at 130 shipping containers and close to a residential area of the city.

Thousands of tons of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical compound which recently caused a massive explosion in Beirut, are being stored in the Yemeni port city of Aden by Saudi-Emirati occupation forces, a top official warns. The governor of Aden governorate in southern Yemen says the chemical compound has been stored in Aden since three years ago without finding any immediate solution for use or any measure to keep citizens and their belongings away from possible danger.

Salam warned that the amount of ammonium nitrate stored in Aden is almost twice the amount that blew up the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Tuesday. Yemen’s Al Masirah TV quotes Tariq Salam as saying that the chemicals have been confiscated by the Saudi-led coalition forces and stored in the Aden port, but have been abandoned and now endanger the lives of citizens in case of an explosion. “The forces deployed in this port are responsible for storing this dangerous cargo, which is estimated to include 4,900 tons of ammonium nitrate stored at 130 shipping containers,” he warned.
