News - Yemen: Four citizens, including two children, were killed and injured, Saturday, in explosion of cluster bombs dropped by US-Saudi aggression in Al-Hodeidah Governorate.

Almasirah Net correspondent in the province reported that a cluster bomb left over from the US-Saudi aggression exploded with a group of citizens in Al-Akda area in Al-Jarrahi district, killing a child and injuring three others, including a child.

Yesterday, a citizen was killed, and his daughter and son were injured, in a US-Saudi landmine explosion in Hodeidah Governorate.

Recently, the Executive Center for Mine Action announced the killed and injured of 16 civilians in various governorates by explosive remnants of the US-Saudi aggression during the first ten days of this August.

The US-Saudi aggression used cluster bombs, mines and many internationally banned weapons, which negatively affected the lives of residents in local communities. It led to the fall of victims in various Yemeni regions, and doubled the suffering at various levels.

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.
