The Houthi militias have spared no effort in laying innumerable landmines across Yemeni territory, with the explicit intent to disable, injure, and kill. This has made it so that not only have landmines been found on roads, in farms, houses, schools, and hospitals, they have even been found in food stores and bags.
Every viable location in Yemen has been turned into a battlefield by the Houthi militias, where landmines have been scattered on farms, in schools, homes, villages, cities, and coastlines, to the point where experts view it as the worst landmine outbreak since the end of the Second World War, estimating that there may be more than 1 million landmines present.
The landmines produced by Iran and the landmines produced by Iran-trained Houthi militias have claimed the lives of thousands of Yemenis, while thousands of others have lost their limbs and their livelihoods.
The Al-Bayan newspaper quoted a source in the Yemeni National Resistance, stating that there are large quantities of Iranian landmines, in addition to those manufactured locally.
Various types of locally manufactured landmines have been found, of which children and civilians are the most prominent victims.
The World Food Program confirmed that the Houthi militias placed landmines in food stores, where they were found in containers and bags of food, depriving millions of hungry people of sustenance.
