Saudi Arabia’s Masam project has successfully removed 1,273 explosive devices from multiple locations across Yemen. The comprehensive clearance operation targeted various types of ordnances that pose significant dangers to civilian populations and infrastructure throughout the region.
The removed devices included 1,157 unexploded ordnances, 105 anti-tank mines, three anti-personnel mines, and eight improvised explosive devices. Each category of ordnance presents distinct hazards, with anti-personnel mines particularly threatening to civilians in affected areas.
The Masam project continues its ongoing mission to improve safety and stability in Yemen by systematically identifying and neutralizing explosive threats. Such operations are critical for enabling humanitarian access and reducing casualties in regions affected by conflict.
