In Heis and Al-Khoukha, the Tehamy Resistance and southern forces dismantled hundreds of explosives and sea mines after liberating the territories of Al-Houthi control. In addition, the forces destroyed an explosives lab belonging to Al-Houthi militias. A military source indicated that military engineering squads dismantled thousands of randomly implanted land and sea mines. Al-Houthi militias deliberately implant mines on roads and near civilian houses and farms in the places where they are forced to leave as some local and international observers indicated that Al-Houthi militias implanted more than half a million mines, including internationally banned mines, that led thousands of civilians to sustain permanent handicaps. It is noteworthy that Iran provides Al-Houthi militias with these mines in addition to experts to produce it locally, according to international reports.
