RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Project for Landmine Clearance, known as Masam and launched by Saudi aid agency KSrelief, has successfully destroyed more than 4,600 explosive devices left behind from the war in Yemen. The operation took place on Thursday in the Wadi Dufs area of Zinjibar, in Abyan Governorate, east of Yemen's de facto capital Aden. The project reported the destruction of 4,620 pieces of ammunition and remnants of war, including 155 projectiles, 235 combat fuses, 85 pieces of armor-piercing ammunition, 4,096 bullets, 13 anti-personnel mines, five anti-tank mines, and 31 grenades. The Masam Project added that its efforts aimed to enhance community security and protect the lives of civilians in Yemen. Engineer Munther Qassem, commander of the first special task force at Masam, said that the operation had been conducted in a safe area, away from residential communities and agricultural regions, ensuring full compliance with international standards. He added: 'The work of the special task teams does not stop throughout the year, given the importance of our missions in protecting the lives of innocent citizens.' Qassem added that the team had successfully carried out the operation despite the high temperatures and rugged terrain of Abyan. The Masam Project stands as a vital contribution to enabling a safe and dignified life for Yemenis. KSrelief has implemented 3,438 diverse humanitarian projects across 107 countries, valued at over $7 billion, since its launch in May 2015.
