- Mines dismantled during the first week of October
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Masam project cleared 730 mines planted by the Iran-backed Houthi militia across Yemen in one week, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The project, operating under the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, or KSrelief, dismantled 85 anti-tank mines and 125 unexploded ordnances during the first week of October.
Since its inception, the project has cleared 417,833 mines.
“Saudi Arabia, represented by KSrelief, aims to clear Yemeni lands of the mines. These mines have tragically caused the death and injury of innocent children, women and the elderly,” read the SPA statement.
