3 civilians injured in explosion of mine left by coalition in Marib

MARIB, Oct. 05 (YPA) – At least three citizens were injured on Wednesday as a result of the explosion of a mine from the remnants of war in Malaha area of Majzar district in Marib province, eastern Yemen, the National Program for Mine Action said on Twitter.

This comes a week after 14 civilians, including 10 children, were killed or wounded, as a result of the explosion of a cluster bomb in Serwah district.

The Saudi-led coalition’s remnants of cluster bombs and mines continue to claim lives of civilians on a daily basis in Yemen, in light of the inability of the concerned authorities to meet the required need to clear contaminated areas due to the insistence of the coalition countries to prevent the entry of explosive object detection devices.
