The Coast Guard, under the Yemeni Ministry of Interior, has issued a warning to residents and visitors of Aden, urging them to exercise caution while near the coast during the upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday.

In a statement released on Saturday, June 15, the Coast Guard warned against venturing into the sea due to strong waves and high tides. The agency emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety to prevent drownings.

The warning highlights that the rough seas are expected to persist throughout the summer months, lasting until September.

Previous holiday seasons in Aden have witnessed tragic drownings due to a lack of adherence to safety precautions. The Coast Guard's warning serves as a reminder to prioritize safety and avoid unnecessary risks while enjoying the coastal areas.
