In an ongoing effort to combat the dangers posed by landmines planted by Houthi militias, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has announced the successful removal of 1,273 mines during the fourth week of April. This initiative aims to clear Yemeni lands of explosive remnants and improve living conditions for civilians affected by the ongoing conflict.

According to a statement from the center, the removed mines include 105 anti-tank mines, 3 anti-personnel mines, 1,157 unexploded ordnance, and 8 explosive devices. With this recent clearance, the total number of mines removed in April has now reached 5,818, contributing to an overall total of 557,007 mines cleared since the project’s inception.
