Child injured due to blast of cluster bomb left by coalition in Saada

The Executive Center for Mine Action recorded on Wednesday the injury of a child as a result of the explosion of a cluster bomb left over by the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes in Saada province, northern Yemen.

The center stated that a 12-year-old child from Hidan district, Al-Raqa village, was injured as a result of the explosion of a cluster bomb left behind by the coalition, explaining that the child lost one of his eyes and was severely wounded in the face and chest.

On Tuesday, the center recorded the injury of three citizens, including a 16-year-old girl, as a result of blasts of the coalition mines and cluster bombs, in Harib district of Marib province, and in Al-Maslob district in Jawf province, as well as in Al-Tuhita district in Hodeida province.

The center confirmed that the provinces and areas contaminated with the war remnants are witnessing the death of civilians on an almost daily basis as a result of the large-scale pollution, in light of the lack of the necessary capabilities for the center.
