Three civilians, including a child, were killed on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, when a landmine planted by the Houthi militia exploded in the south of Al-Hodeidah Governorate in the west of Yemen.
A human rights source said that three people, including a child, were killed by a mine planted on a side road in the east of Al-Karama village in Al-Jah area, west of Bayt Al-Faqih district.
The source explained that the victims were riding a motorcycle on their way to go shopping in Husseiniya area when they triggered a landmine.
