According to the center, about 15 citizens were killed and injured, including seven children due to explosion of cluster bombs left over from US-Saudi Emirati aggression in Hodeidah, Sanaa and Saada.
It stressed the need to provide detectors so that the center can save the lives of civilians in Yemen.
As a result of the indiscriminate and excessive use of cluster bombs by the coalition forces during the past years, the impact of these bombs continues to lead to casualties among civilians, especially children.
