Two children were killed, while two others and their mother were injured in the explosion of a Houthi-laid improvised explosive device in northern Yemen's Aljawf governorate.
The Yemeni Landmine Observatory confirmed in a statement that the children Kahlan Hassan Al-Ali and Ali Abdul Razzaq Al-Ali were killed while two other siblings, Zaid Abdul Razzaq Al-Ali and Hana Abdul Razzaq Al-Ali, were injured along with their mother when a Houthi bomb went off. One of the children had found the camouflaged IED in the road before he brought it to his home thinking it is a toy.
This incident comes hours after the martyrdom of a sixty-year-old elderly civilian, named “Rashid Abdul Khaleq Marshush,” as a result of the explosion of a landmine planted by the terrorist Houthi militia in the village of Al-Uthair in Haifan District in the countryside of Yemen's central governorate of Taiz.
Houthi terrorists have planted millions of landmines turning Yemen to the most mined country since WWII with a casualty toll in the tens of thousands.
