ADEN (Dispatches) – Two Yemeni children were killed and three others injured during a landmine explosion in the country's Red Sea port city of Hudaydah on Sunday, a local military official told Xinhua.
The explosion hit the civilians' vehicle when they were driving back to their houses through a deserted road, the official said on condition of anonymity.
The landmines and IEDs continue to pose a threat to the civilians despite the ongoing efforts by the experts of the mine-clearing projects in Yemen.
Previous reports by humanitarian organizations said Yemen has become one of the largest landmine battlefields in the world since World War II.
