The leader of team 3 Colonel ‘Tawfiq Al Baadani’ confirmed that his team was able to secure 18 fields, mined areas, in an area with the size of 30 thousands square meters, in the directorates of Al Ghayl, Al Hazm, and the region of Sabreen in the directorate of Al Khabb and Ash Sha’af of Al Jawf governorate.
Colonel ‘Al Baadani’ said in an exclusive interview with Masam’s media office that his team was able to clear 16 thousands mines, explosive devices and unexploded ordnance since it started its mission within “Masam” project in the middle of 2018.
The leader of team 3 “Masam” noted that his team enabled hundreds of farmers to return to their farms in Al Ghayl directorate of Al Jawf governorate after they were abandoned for over two years.
Colonel Al Baadani added that Al Ghayl and Al Hazm directorates are among the most important vital regions that his team worked to secure, because they are agricultural areas and have many residential areas.
He noted that the militias exaggerated in planting mines in the two directorates, as they planted them deliberately in roads, homes surrounding, entries of villages, farms and well randomly and massively.
The leader of team 3 said: we are now in Al Jufayna area of Marib governorate. We moved to work here 4 days ago. This field that we are purifying now is the 18th field for the team. Its size is 10 thousands square kilometers. We were able to secure 2000 meters so far, and we are continuing our work to complete securing all the field, then we can move to secure other fields and regions, according to the directions of Masam project’s administration.
Colonel ‘Al Baadani’ called on citizens not to touch any suspicious bodies and to inform the teams of “Masam” whenever they see one of them. He also advised the citizens not to enter areas where mines could be planted, unless they are fully secured by Masam’s engineering teams.
