(MENAFN) A Yemeni representative on Tuesday reproached forces from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) of snatching state funds in the eastern Hadhramaut province.
UAE forces "broke into Al-Mukalla seaport in Hadhramaut and looted five containers of cash printed in Russia", Mohamed Qizan, Information Ministry undersecretary, said writing on Twitter.
He, though, failed to specify the sum supposedly snatched by UAE forces.
There was no comment from UAE authorities on the allegation.
For years, the Yemeni bills have been printed in Russia and moved to Yemen by sea.
Violence has spread between the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) and government forces since the former avowed self-rule over Aden and other southern provinces in April.
