Riyadh Sana'a (Debriefer) Unidentified armed men on Wednesday set fire to crude pipeline in the Yemeni oil-rich governorate of Shabwa, southeast the war-torn country.
The gunmen damaged the pipeline near to Joul al-Raida in Maifa'a district east Ataq, Shabwa provincial capital, local official said in remarks carried by the Sputnik International.
Yemen's relative authorities stopped pumping crude via the attacked pipeline linking al-Aqla field to the export port of Noshaima in Radhoom district, southeast Shabwa, he added.
Shabwa-based oil and gas pipelines repeatedly come under sabotage acts leaving economic losses to Yemen.
