News - Yemen: A citizen was killed in Al-Hodeidah Governorate Thursday, in a mine explosion remnant by the US-Saudi aggression.

Yesterday, a woman and her two children were killed, and her husband was injured, in the same governorate, as a result of a mine explosion.

It should be noted that the aggression coalition continued to prevent the entry of mine detectors, which constitutes an obstruction of humanitarian work, and deliberate harm to many citizens.

On January, the Executive Center for Mine Action confirmed that a child from the Serwah district in Marib was injured, due to the explosion of a cluster bomb left over from the US-Saudi aggression.

These tragedies came in light of international silence about the crime of the US-Saudi aggression by preventing the entry of mine detectors, which represents an obstruction of humanitarian work, and deliberate harm to the largest number of Yemenis.

The remnants of the aggression, including mines, cluster bombs and shells, caused the deaths and injuries of dozens of citizens in the Rahba district.

Many areas in Yemen's governorates have been bombarded by US-Saudi aggression with cluster bombs, while many of those internationally prohibited bombs are still scattered among farms and roads, and their victims are in the dozens.

The victims of cluster bombs have reached more than 25,000 civilians since the beginning of the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen. 

The landmines and other remnants of the forces of aggression that they planted during their occupation, still pose a threat to the residents of many areas of the districts, especially farms and roads.

In official statistics, 2,500 cluster, destructive, phosphorous and piercing bomb raids targeted nine governorates in the republic, foremost among which were US bombs like the CBU-87, British bombs like the BL755 and the Brazilian ASTROS II bombs.

Each of these weapons has its own properties and high impacts on humans and environment, which remain life threatening for a long period of time. This shows the scale of the disaster that befell Yemen as a result of these US, British and other weapons.

The US-Saudi aggression refuses to enter equipment and devices to detect explosives in light of the silence of the United Nations, which bears the greatest responsibility for the continued casualties due to the remnants of the aggression, including mines and cluster bombs.

The Mine Center's field work is concentrated in dangerous areas and densely populated directorates. However, the UN's curtailment of its support programs and the coalition's prevention of the introduction of detectors raises the specter of death that threatens the lives of women and children.
