An anti-personnel landmine planted by the Houthi militias killed a woman, in her forties, in Al Rahba region, Azlat Alsharajah in the directorate of Jebel Habshi, western Taiz province.
Local sources said that “Fakhriyah Saif Thabet Alafiri” was killed in the explosion of an anti-personnel landmine that the Houthi militias planted in a road passing through Hayjanah village, while she was shepherding.
The sources added that locals saw 3 anti-personnel landmines that are still planted in the place of the explosion which killed Fakhriyah, and that they haven’t exploded yet, thus threatening civilian lives.
The inhabitants of the Alrahbah villages (Hayjanah, Adhanbah, Alahsab, Hamrah) have been living under a harsh siege for the last 3 years, and tens of families there face certain death due to the terror imposed on them by the terrorist Houthi militias.
And in the quarter of Bazara’, eastern Taiz city, a kid was wounded in an explosion of an anti-personnel landmine; a war remnant of the terrorist Houthi militias.
Local sources said that the kid “Ahmad Mukhtar”, was wounded after the explosion of an anti-personnel landmine left by the Houthi militias, in the quarter of Bazara’, in eastern Taiz city.
And according to a human rights source, the province of Taiz tops the list of Yemeni provinces in the number of landmines planted by the Houthis, since the militias ignited the war in September 2014.
The human rights source said that around 1800 civilians were killed and wounded by these landmines, mostly women and children, according to the latest official survey, noting that their danger still threatens thousands of civilians.
