Project Masam has destroyed and detonated 2,300 weapons and unexploded ordnance in the Al-Wadi District, in Marib Governorate.<\/p>\n

On 7 May, a woman was killed and three other civilians were injured in the uncontrolled explosion at a weapons depot located near a internal displaced persons (IDPs) camp Samda area in Marib in northeastern Yemen. The blast destroyed and burned dozens of IDP’s homes.<\/p>\n
