According to the sources, the engineering teams have cleared about a thousand mines and devices that the militia has planted in many areas.
Houthi militias have deliberately planted hundreds of mines and explosive devices indiscriminately in the roads and near homes and farms in the northern Dhale’ regions.
The sources said that the Engineering Division of the Southern Forces was able to remove a large amount of camouflaged natural color mines that the Houthis had planted in those areas before liberating them.
It added, that the Houthis relied on many methods and methods in laying mines and explosive devices, by camouflaging them, so that they would expect the greatest harm to civilians in those areas.
