ADEN, Feb 10 (NNN-YPA) – A total of 36 Yemeni people were killed by explosives, during the first month of 2022, across the war-torn Arab country, a government official, said.
“Unexploded ordnance and landmines, including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), killed 36 people and maimed more than 37 others in Jan,” the local government source said.
He clarified that, most of the incidents occurred in the turbulent Yemeni provinces of Shabwa, Hodeidah, al-Jawf and Marib, that witnessed ferocious fighting.
Meanwhile, the Yemen Data Project, a non-governmental organisation, reported 139 deaths and 287 injuries, as a result of Saudi coalition bombings, bringing the total killed and injured to almost 19,000, since Saudi Arabia began bombing the Houthis in Yemen in Mar, 2015.”
Following the Houthi retaliatory attacks against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a key partner of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition, Jan saw a surge in air raid rates, according to the project.
Intense battles are still going on between the Yemeni government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia and the Houthi fighters, in many areas of the poorest Arab country.– NNN-YPA
