The U.S. Fifth Fleet has indicated in a statement that the 'USS The Sullivans' and a Coast Guard ship intercepted the vessel during the day on November 8 "while transiting international waters".
Thus, it has indicated that another U.S. ship and bomb squad of the Fifth Fleet "assisted during a week-long effort to fully investigate the vessel and verify the type of material found".
"U.S. forces discovered more than 70 tons of ammonium perchlorate, a powerful oxidizer frequently used to make rocket and missile fuel, as well as explosives," he said, before noting that "this is the first seizure of ammonium perchlorate by the Fifth Fleet in history."
In this sense, the commander of the U.S. Central Command Naval Forces (CENTCOM), Brad Cooper, stressed that "it is a massive amount of explosive material, enough to fuel more than a dozen medium-range ballistic missiles, depending on the size".
