This comes as part of the efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center, to clear Yemeni lands of mines, which contributes to protecting civilians and enabling them to safely access their areas and live their lives away from the dangers of mines and unexploded munitions.
