The British business-focused website “Thisismoney” reported that the British group Pepco has stated its sales were adversely affected by the operations carried out by the Sana’a government forces in the Red Sea, which led to delays in the arrival of summer stock to stores.
The group added that “shipments had to travel via different routes to Europe due to the attacks carried out by the Houthi rebels in the region this year.”
According to the website, sales at the group’s 800 stores in the Poundland area of the UK dropped by 6.9 percent.
The Sana’a government forces had included British ships in their target list in response to the airstrikes carried out by the United Kingdom alongside the United States on Yemen. This was part of a military alliance in the Red Sea aimed at halting the operations conducted by Sana’a forces against Israeli shipping since mid-November last year.
