The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s (KSrelief) “Masam” project has successfully cleared 1,139 landmines in Yemen during the third week of August.
These mines were planted by Houthi militias across various provinces.
According to a statement from the center, reported by Yemen’s state television on Tuesday, the demining efforts have removed 13 anti-personnel mines, 56 anti-tank mines, 1,057 unexploded ordnances, and 13 improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
This brings the total number of mines cleared in August to 2,529.
Since the inception of the Masam project, a staggering 455,827 landmines have been cleared.
These mines were haphazardly planted across Yemen’s provinces, endangering the lives of countless innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
