JEDDAH: The Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance (Masam) in Yemen dismantled five anti-personnel mines, 321 anti-tank mines, 14 explosive devices and 772 unexploded ordnance — totaling 1,112 mines — during the third week of June.
The project is implemented by Saudi cadres and international experts to remove mines planted by Houthi militias in Yemeni regions, especially Marib, Aden, Sanaa and Taiz. A total of 170,546 mines have been extracted since the beginning of the project, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
More than 1.1 million mines have been planted by Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen during the conflict, claiming hundreds of civilian lives. Masam aims to dismantle mines in Yemen to protect civilians and ensure that urgent humanitarian supplies are delivered safely.
Houthis are developing anti-vehicle mines and turning them into anti-personnel explosives to intimidate and terrorize civilians.
The vast number of land mines continues to pose a threat to Yemeni people.
