Saudi Arabia’s Project for Landmine Clearance, known as Masam and launched by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), has removed 1,140 explosive devices this month from various regions of Yemen affected by the war.

The cleared explosives included 1,090 items of unexploded ordnance, 49 anti-tank mines, and one anti-personnel mine, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

This brings the total number of mines and other devices removed since Masam began to 509,612. The devices, scattered randomly across Yemeni territory, have posed a serious threat to civilians and communities.

Masam plays a key role in making Yemen safer by training local demining engineers, equipping them with modern tools, and supporting victims of explosive devices. Its teams work to clear villages, roads, and schools, enabling the safe movement of civilians and the delivery of humanitarian aid.

The project’s efforts have significantly reduced casualties and allowed displaced people and farmers to return to their land, resume cultivation, and rebuild livelihoods — progress that has earned praise from the UN and international organizations.
