According to a statement from “Masam,” the operation included the removal of six anti-personnel mines, 23 anti-tank mines, 511 unexploded ordnance, and three explosive devices. The majority of these hazardous materials were cleared in Aden, where teams removed 511 unexploded ordnance and three explosive devices.

Ongoing Efforts and Impact

Since the inception of the “Masam” project, the total number of landmines removed has reached an impressive 486,651. These mines were indiscriminately planted across Yemen, endangering the lives of innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. The ongoing efforts of “Masam” aim to alleviate fear and restore safety to communities affected by this conflict.
