The local military source said on condition of anonymity that “a unit of the pro-government joint forces specialized in clearing landmines succeeded in dismantling scores of landmines laid in various agricultural areas in Hays district of Hodeidah,” Xinhua news agency reported.

The Houthi-laid landmines and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) continue to pose a real threat to the civilians despite the ongoing efforts by the experts of the mine-clearing projects in Yemen.

Previous reports by humanitarian organisations said Yemen has become one of the largest landmine battlefields in the world since World War II.
