As of 25 July 2025, Project Masam has cleared a total of 4,852 explosive devices and 723,609 square metres of land across Yemen during the month of July alone.<\/p>\n

These results reflect the project’s sustained and expanding efforts across multiple governorates, with a continued focus on securing civilian zones, particularly homes, roads, and essential infrastructure.<\/p>\n

During the most recent reporting week (19 – 25 July 2025), Project Masam demining teams removed 1,151 explosive devices<\/a>. These included four anti-personnel mines, 49 anti-tank mines, 1,093 items of unexploded ordnance (UXO), and five improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Operations during this period cleared 186,051 square metres of land.<\/p>\n

The previous week (12 – 18 July 2025) saw the removal of 971 explosive devices, including one anti-personnel mine, 78 anti-tank mines, 891 UXO, and one IED. Clearance efforts during that week covered 169,910 square metres.<\/p>\n

In the week before that (5 – 11 July 2025), teams removed 1,171 explosive devices, including one anti-personnel mine, forty-six anti-tank mines, and 1,124 UXO. No IEDs were reported that week, but teams successfully cleared 191,469 square metres of land.<\/p>\n

These high-output weeks followed an earlier reporting period from 28 June to 4 July 2025, in which teams cleared 1,559 explosive devices, including one anti-personnel mine, 45 anti-tank mines, and 1,513 UXO, while covering 176,179 square metres.<\/p>\n

Since the project\u2019s launch in mid-2018, Project Masam has cleared 507,588 explosive devices in Yemen. This total includes 6,827 anti-personnel mines, 146,957 anti-tank mines, 345,554 items of UXO, and 8,250 IEDs. To date, more than 68.6 million square metres of land have been made safe through Project Masam\u2019s clearance operations.<\/p>\n

Project Masam remains firmly committed to its humanitarian mission: working to protect lives, restore access, and enable the safe return of displaced communities by clearing explosive hazards from Yemen\u2019s liberated regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
