The leader of the special operations team in the Aden sector, Engineer Munther Qasem stated that the team executed the detonation and destruction of 567 unexploded shells and munitions, 773 assorted fuses, in addition to 5 anti-tank mines, 2 air-to-land missiles, 11 Katyusha rockets, and one large shell.
Qasem indicated in a statement to the project's media office that these explosives were collected during November from several areas in response to reports from security authorities and citizens.
