Saudi Project Clears 732 Houthi Mines in Yemen
Saudi Arabia’s Project Masam removes hundreds of explosive devices in Yemen, continuing efforts to safeguard civilians and support humanitarian aid.
Members of Saudi Arabia’s Project Masam demining initiative cleared 732 explosive devices from various regions of Yemen last week.
The total included 11 anti-personnel mines, 31 anti-tank mines, 685 unexploded ordnances, and five explosive devices.
This brings the total number of mines removed since the project's inception in 2018 to 480,526.
The explosives were planted indiscriminately, posing a significant threat to civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
Demining operations took place in the Yemeni governorates of Marib, Aden, Jouf, Shabwa, Taiz, Hodeidah, Lahij, Sanaa, Al-Bayda, Al-Dhale, and Saada.
Project Masam trains local engineers and provides modern equipment for the clearing process, while also offering support to Yemenis injured by explosive devices.
The operation focuses on clearing villages, roads, and schools to ensure safe movement for civilians and to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.
