HAJJAH, Yemen, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) At a minefield in the Yemeni district of Midi by the Red Sea, Saudi and Sudanese soldiers were helping their Yemeni comrades transporting thousands of landmines that have been already removed to large holes in the desert to destroy.
The Houthi militia planted these mines before they were forced to withdraw towards remote villages in southern Hajjah province.
Yemen has been mired in a civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi militia stormed several northern provinces and pushed the internationally recognized government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.
