The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center's (KSrelief) Masam Project for clearing landmines in Yemen has successfully removed 884 explosive devices during the first week of August 2025, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The cleared munitions included 28 anti-tank mines, two anti-personnel mines, and 854 unexploded ordnance, which were found across various regions of Yemen.

Since the launch of the Masam Project, a total of 508,472 mines and explosive remnants have been dismantled. Planted indiscriminately across Yemeni territory, these devices continue to pose a grave threat to innocent civilians—particularly children, women, and the elderly—while instilling fear and disrupting the lives of peaceful communities.
