DUBAI, Jan 4 (Reuters) - U.S embassy in Yemen said on Sunday it received reports of closures, cancellations and redirected flights on commercial airline travel to and from the Yemeni island of Socotra, warning U.S citizens again against all travel to Yemen.
Socotra, which is a remote island in Indian Ocean, is under the control of UAE backed Yemen's Southern Transitional Council, which has clashed with Yemen’s Saudi-backed government in the provinces of Hadramout and Al Mahra.
