ADEN, Nov. 22 (Saba) - Iranian soldiers who were onboard an Iranian cargo ship sailing off Yemen have harassed Yemeni fishermen and checked out their boats, the Interior Ministry reported on Sunday.

The Ministry added that the Aden-based Coastguard received an alert from Yemeni fishermen about the incident.

Therefore, the Coastguard sent two boats to the site located by the alert and they started investigations into the unjustified move.

This incident is considered a risky development amid the allegations of the Iranian involvement in Yemen's internal affairs and supporting the Houthi rebels in the far noth, who have been fighting the troops in Saada since 2004.
