1,400 AK-47 assault rifles and 226,600 rounds of ammunition for them were seized on December 20 by American sailors during an inspection of a “fishing vessel” without a home port in the northern Arabian Sea.
Two patrol ships USS Tempest (PC 2) and USS Typhoon (PC 5) of the US Navy blocked the “fishermen” on their way from Iran to Yemen. The weapons for disposal were loaded aboard the destroyer USS Monterey, the crew will be sent to Yemen, the boat was sunk.
