Saudi Arabia’s project clears 177,637 Houthi mines in Yemen

The Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance (Masam) in Yemen dismantled one anti-personnel mine, 96 anti-tank mines, one explosive device and 1,229 unexploded ordnance — totaling 1,327 mines — during the last week of July.
The project is implemented by Saudi cadres and international experts to remove mines planted by Houthi militias in Yemeni regions, especially Marib, Aden, Sanaa and Taiz.
A total of 177,637 mines have been extracted since the beginning of the project. More than 1.1 million mines have been planted by Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen during the conflict, claiming hundreds of civilian lives.
Masam aims to dismantle mines in Yemen to protect civilians and ensure that urgent humanitarian supplies are delivered safely.
Houthis are developing anti-vehicle mines and turning them into antipersonnel explosives to intimidate and terrorize civilians.
The Masam project is one of several initiatives undertaken by the Kingdom, on the directive of King Salman, to help ease the suffering of Yemeni people.
