The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s (KSrelief) Masam Project, dedicated to clearing mines in Yemen, dismantled 630 mines in various regions during the second week of October 2024.

These included three anti-personnel mines, 28 anti-tank mines, one explosive device, and 598 unexploded ordnance, SPA reported.

Since the project's inception, a total of 465,882 mines have been cleared.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia remains steadfast in its commitment to removing all mines from Yemeni lands, a menace that has tragically caused the loss of lives and injuries to innocent people.

Syria’s military said Israel wounded two civilians and damaged a military post in a strike early Thursday in the coastal city of Latakia, about 100 kilometers north of the Lebanese border.

Israel regularly targets military sites in Syria linked to Iran and to Lebanon’s Hezbollah and has escalated its campaign against Hezbollah in recent weeks, after a year of near-daily exchanges of cross-border fire.

Thursday's attack resulted in fires breaking out there, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.

Firefighters were working on extinguishing the fires, SANA added.

Two people were injured and private properties were damaged, state media reported citing a military statement.
