MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 30th August, 2018) The crew of a US destroyer intercepted a small sailboat this week in the Gulf of Aden loaded with hundreds of small arms, US media reported.
The origin and destination of the unflagged boat was not immediately clear, a defense official told the CNN news network on Wednesday.
The crew of the USS Jason Dunham boarded the vessel on Tuesday after being granted its permission. The destroyer was in the area for a Naval Forces Central Command operation.
The Gulf is reportedly used to transport weapons to Yemen. The United States, which backs Saudi Arabia's coalition fighting alongside the UN-recognized Yemeni government, accuses Iran of arming Houthi rebels in the three-year conflict.
