Citizen killed due to blast of cluster bomb in Sanaa

SANAA, June 24 (YPA) – A civilian was killed, on Friday, as a result of explosion of cluster bomb left over by Saudi-led coalition forces in Nehm district of Sanaa province, The Yemen Executive Mine Action Centre (YEMAC) reported.

 According to YEMAC, the number of casualties has increased due to the stop of clearance work in areas contaminated by mines and cluster bombs since last March.

 In a tweet, the YEMAC attributed the reasons for the suspension of work to the interruption of donors’ support and funding for the continuation of disarmament and cleansing work in Yemen.
