The Saudi program clearing landmines in Yemen (MASM) announced on Monday that it had extracted 2008 Houthi militants-laid landmines from June 26 to July 2, 2021.

The program said it removed the mines from residential areas, schools and public roads in different Yemeni governorates.
They included 63 anti-personnel and 793 anti-tank.
