The field teams of the “MASAM” project for mine removal in Yemen has extracted 3,765 mines, unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosive devices from the beginning of November until the 21st of the month.

The statement added that the engineering teams removed 875 mines, unexploded ordnance, and IEDs just during the past week, including 498 unexploded ordnance, 367 anti-tank mines, 7 anti-personnel mines, and 3 IEDs.

MASAM reported that its teams were able during the past week to clear 389,668 square meters of Yemeni land, bringing the total area cleared from the beginning of November until the 21st to 1,244,869 square meters.

The project’s General Director, Osama Al-Qusaibi stated that since the project’s launch at the end of June 2018 until November 21 of this year, the teams have removed 525,498 mines, unexploded ordnance, and IEDs, according to an official statement published by MASAM’s media office.
