More than 180 tons of explosives and ammunitions were confiscated in the harbor of Mukalla east of Yemen, said sources in the Yemeni coastguards Wednesday. 

The shipment of explosives and ammunition was on ship carrying Bolivian flag,  with five-member crew, three Indians and two Ukrainians.

The ship was heading to the harbor of Umm Kasr in Irak, and the shipment belongs to Turkish businessmen according to the documents associated.

Meanwhile, the coastguards in the harbor of Aden confiscated a total of 500 night vision glasses and 1000 stores of bullets and arrested the businessman who smuggled the shipment.

Yemen recently has witnessed a lot of attempts to smuggle Turkish weapons, and confiscated already more than four weapons shipments. Smuggling weapons to Yemen  increased the concerns of Yemenis over possibility of failure of the transition period and going to civil war.

  1. The fee for different therapists can depend on the total duration of
    their therapy plan. Some schools even require gaining experience first as a
    prerequisite in your application to the university.
    They also require cardiac and physical rehabilitation.
