Houthis Lay Mines near Mosque in Yemen

On Thursday, Al-Houthi Militia in Yemen laid mines near a mosque in Taiz governorate, southwest of the country, with dozens of landmines, but Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance “MASAM” removed them.

“The team managed to secure the mosque in the Mawza District from dozens of armored landmines that had been laid in the mosque's vicinity and in front of its main gate,” according to the team commander Abdu Ibrahim.

“Targeting mosques and places of worship is a method the Houthi militia has been following since its armed coup against the state in Yemen, which was confirmed by Yemeni human rights reports, in which it stated that hundreds of mosques in Yemen have been bombed and destroyed by the Houthi militia,” according to a statement issued by MASAM’s media office on Thursday.
