SANA'A, Feb. 27 – Thirty-four Yemeni fishermen arrived last Saturday in the port city of Mokha after they were seized along with their boats by Somali authorities during voyages to the south Red Sea.

Somali authorities released the Yemeni fishermen and transported them aboard a special ship following their detention for allegedly entering Somalia's regional waters.

According to sources, the freed fishermen are in good health; however, it remains unclear whether Somali authorities released their boats.
