News - Yemen: A child was killed and another was injured at dawn Thursday as a result of the explosion of a remnant of the US-Saudi aggression's cluster bombs and mines in Hodeidah Governorate.

In a statement, the Executive Center for Mine Action confirmed the death and the injury of the two children as a result of the explosion of remnants of the raids in Al-Hali district while they were collecting firewood.

On March 8, the Executive Center for Mine Action confirmed the death and injury of 64 women as a result of the remnants of the aggression during the 2022.

In a statement on the occasion of International Women's Day, the center said that war remnants caused the death of 10 women and the injury of 54 others over the past year.

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 Yemen, 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 the 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.
