The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) Masam Project, dedicated to clearing mines in Yemen, dismantled 2,010 explosives in various governorates during the second week of May 2024.

These included 11 anti-personnel mines, 19 anti-tank mines, and 1,980 unexploded ordnances.
Since the start of the project, a total of 442,077 explosives have been cleared, SPA reported.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, remains steadfast in its commitment to rid Yemeni lands of all explosives. This menace has tragically resulted in the loss of lives and injuries to innocent children, women, and older people.

The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was involved in a collision at sea with a merchant vessel near Port Said, Egypt, the Navy said Thursday.

The collision occurred late Wednesday while both ships were moving. It did not result in flooding or injuries aboard the carrier, and there was no damage to the ship's propulsion systems, the Navy said in a statement.

None of the crew on the merchant ship, the Besiktas-M, were injured either, according to a defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details that had not yet been made public.

The Truman, which is based in Norfolk, Virginia, deployed in September to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. It had just completed a port call in Souda Bay, Greece.
