RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Project Masam has made significant progress in clearing explosive devices from Yemen.
According to a recent report, the initiative removed 1,243 explosive devices from different areas of Yemen last week.

The demining operations are carried out by teams that receive training and modern equipment through the project.
