Torrential floodwaters in Yemen's Hayran Valley over the past two days have reportedly dislodged and exposed numerous landmines previously planted by Houthi militias, presenting an immediate and severe threat to civilian populations. An official report issued by the Hajjah Governorate Police confirmed that military engineering teams affiliated with the Fifth Military Region promptly initiated sweeping and securing operations. These teams successfully neutralized the discovered ordnance safely, adhering strictly to established protocols. The Governorate Police commended the ongoing efforts of the regional engineering units, alongside the critical work conducted by the Masam Project, which operates under the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, in clearing the area and ensuring citizen safety. Authorities urged local residents to exercise extreme caution, refrain from approaching any suspicious objects, and report such findings immediately to security agencies. The police reiterated their stern warning regarding the persistent danger posed by the mines left behind by the militias. They emphasized the vital necessity of public cooperation with security apparatuses to prevent any incidents that could endanger lives and property. |
