In the period between January-October 2019, UNDP has demined 532 anti-person mines, 9,081 anti-machine mines, 11 sea mines and 25,842 war wastes and unexploded ammunitions, he said.

He pointed out that Yemen has applied for extension of the Yemeni anti-mine center for other three years for defining the problem's size on the basis of the fifth Article of anti-person mine treaty.

Al-Aqili reviewed challenges facing the government of Yemen led by Iran-backed Houthi coup against the state and the war they triggered, which resulted in planting mines and expanding mine fields.
