Three civilians injured in cluster bomb explosion

At least three civilians were injured by an explosion of a cluster bomb and a landmine leftover by Saudi-led coalition forces in Hodeida province, western Yemen.

The Executive Center for Mine Action said in a statement on Friday, obtained by Yemen News Agency (SABA), that two children brothers were injured by a remnants of cluster bomb explosion, while another citizen was injured by a landmine left over by the coalition forces in Al-Tuhayta district.

The statement pointed out that the continued casualties of cluster bombs and landmines are due to the lack of detectors, despite repeated requests for  the United Nations to allow them to enter the country as an urgent humanitarian necessity and a right for the Yemeni society.
