The Saudi aid agency KSrelief’s demining project in Yemen cleared 873 mines during the third week of November.
Masam demining teams deactivated 113 anti-tank mines and 755 other unexploded ordnances during the period.
The project has dismantled 422,342 mines since it was launched in mid-June 2018.
Around 51.5 million square meters of land in Yemen has to date been declared safe from the deadly remnants of the war in the country.
One of Masam’s ongoing demining operations is located northeast of the strategic town of Dhubab and southeast of Quddam in the southwestern Taiz Governorate, where a steep mountain flank was used as a defensive position by Houthi militias during a battlefront in 2017.
The area is now being used by civilians to herd sheep and collect firewood, and there have been reports that some herders and their animals have been killed or injured because of the mines planted there.
