News - Yemen: The Executive Center for Dealing with Landmines and Remnants of War revealed the killed of six citizens and injured of 11 during the month of July 2023, by explosive remnants of US-Saudi aggression in a number of Yemeni governorates.

It stated in a statement that this statistic included the cases that were reached and documented, while the Center received appeals to request the rescue of victims in the contaminated areas during last July.

Recently, the Executive Center for Mine Action confirmed that it documented 150 victims were killed and wounded, by the US-Saudi aggression explosive remnants in various governorates.

The center said in a statemen, Friday, that more than 9,500 citizens were killed or wounded  by the remnants of the aggression since 8 years.

The center revealed that the United Nations and its organizations in Yemen did not respond to the introduction of mine detectors to clear the contaminated areas, despite its continuous efforts to meet this demand.

The Executive Center for Mine Action renewed the call on the United Nations to play its humanitarian role in providing detectors and continuing to support work related to the clearance of mine-contaminated areas.

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.
