An ongoing Saudi program to clear landmines in Yemen saw 1,133 devices laid by the Iran-backed Houthis dismantled in the first week of May.
Overseen by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, special teams destroyed six anti-personnel mines, 194 anti-tank mines, 924 unexploded ordnance, and nine other types of explosive devices.
The KSrelief project is one of several initiatives undertaken by Saudi Arabia to help the Yemeni people. It clear routes for much-needed humanitarian aid aimed at supporting the country’s citizens.
A total of 397,214 mines have been cleared since the start of the project.
