On December 8, 2024, a civilian was injured in Taiz, southwestern Yemen, when a landmine left by the Houthi movement exploded while he was operating a tractor. The incident occurred in the city of Al-Mokha, according to local sources.
The Armed Forces’ website, September Net, reported that the victim, identified as Mohammed Ahmed Al-Darboush, was working in a farm in the Al-Ramah area when the mine detonated. He sustained multiple injuries and was subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment.
UN reports indicate that approximately two million landmines have been planted by the Houthis, who are classified as a terrorist organization internationally, in various regions under their control. These landmines have resulted in over 20,000 civilian casualties, primarily among women and children. rights organizations have accused the Houthis of turning Yemen into one of the world's largest minefields, demanding that the group provide maps of the landmines to aid organizations involved in mine clearance efforts.
