The Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance (Masam) in Yemen, implemented by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), cleared 2,045 mines from various regions of Yemen during the second week of June 2026, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday. The clearance operations included 98 anti-tank mines, 18 anti-personnel mines, 1,927 unexploded ordnance items, and two improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This brings the number of mines cleared since the beginning of June to 2,843, while the total removed since the launch of the Masam project has reached 567,182. These mines had been indiscriminately planted across various parts of Yemen, posing a threat to civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. Through KSrelief, Saudi Arabia continues to support mine-clearance operations across Yemen under the Masam project, helping to protect civilians from the dangers posed by landmines and explosive remnants of war
