The Russian embassy in Yemen announced today, the evacuation of all Russian sailors who were on board the "Perlers" oil tanker, which was severely damaged after an American air strike near the port of Ras Issa in late April.

A representative of the Russian embassy confirmed to TASS that "all Russian sailors left Yemen," noting that they numbered 19 seas, and they went to the Jordanian capital, Amman, on the twenty -fifth of May, after completing the arrangements for their evacuation. The source pointed out that the carrier is still anchored in the Yemeni territorial waters, without revealing its technical status, its maintenance plans or its withdrawal.

Earlier, the Russian Chargé d'Affaires in Sanaa reported that three sailors were injured as a result of the air strike, and one of them was transferred to treatment in a hospital in the Yemeni capital, which is controlled by the Houthi group, before they were all returned to Moscow at the expense of the ship owner.

The targeting of "Perlers" targeting is one of the most prominent incidents that prompted Russian, China and Iran to express their concern about the repercussions of the American military escalation.
