Yemeni coast guard shot dead by private yacht’s security team FMTNews FMTWorld
DUBAI: A Yemeni coast guard on the lookout for arms smuggling was shot dead by security guards aboard a private yacht in an exchange of fire today, a maritime security company said.
The agency’s website said three boats carrying three to four people each carried out the “attack” before later downgrading the event, 18 nautical miles south of Nishtun, to an “incident”.Nishtun is a port in the southeastern province of Mahra that is controlled by the Yemeni government and allied Saudi-led troops.
A Yemeni security official confirmed the death to AFP, saying that coast guards aboard an unflagged vessel had approached the yacht because they wrongly assumed it was carrying a weapons shipment.It reported damage to passenger cabins and superstructure sustained by small arms fire. The Gulf of Aden, previously known as Africa’s piracy hotspot, has been eclipsed in recent years by the Gulf of Guinea off the continent’s west coast.
