The teams of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center's (KSrelief) Masam Project working on the western coast were astonished to uncover substantial quantities of shells strategically placed by Houthi forces near Bab al-Mandab. This coincides with an international report that has placed Yemen as the eighth country with the highest casualties due to explosives, recording over 17,000 incidents. The Masam team, engaged in demining operations, expressed surprise at discovering more than 250 unexploded shells laid by the Houthis.
