A total of 1,307 mines planted by the Iran-backed Houthi militia across Yemen were dismantled in one week under King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s (KSrelief) Masam project.
The extraction, which took place at the end of November, included 20 anti-personnel mines, 113 anti-tank mines, 1,170 unexploded ordnance, and four explosive devices, state news agency (SPA) reported.
Since its launch in 2018, the landmine clearance project has removed over 375,000 mines from Yemeni lands.
Earlier in June, KSRelief renewed Masam project for a fifth year at a cost of $33.292 million.
