Saudi ship leaves Spain with ceremonial, exhibition materials: source

On Friday, rights groups prevented the Bahri-Yanbu from receiving arms at the French port of Le Havre due to concerns they would be used by Saudi Arabia against civilians in Yemen's war. The vessel, that carries a separate consignment of arms loaded in Antwerp, set sail from Santander at 1:50 p.m. (1150 GMT) bound for Genoa, Italy, according to ship tracking data. The Spanish source said the material could be used for cannon salutes in military ceremonies in Saudi Arabia.
