The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center’s (KSrelief) Masam Project successfully cleared 1,105 explosive devices from Yemeni territories during the fourth week of October 2025, marking another significant milestone in Saudi Arabia’s ongoing humanitarian commitment to civilian safety in Yemen.
Context and Background
The Masam Project, a specialized initiative launched by KSrelief, represents Saudi Arabia’s dedicated effort to protect Yemeni civilians from the dangers of unexploded ordnance. The project employs highly trained teams working meticulously across various regions to ensure safe removal of dangerous explosives that threaten local communities.
This vital humanitarian work has now achieved a cumulative clearance of 521,734 explosive devices since the project’s inception, demonstrating the Kingdom’s sustained commitment to humanitarian assistance in Yemen.
Latest Clearance Details
During the recent operation, teams successfully removed 863 unexploded devices, 195 anti-tank mines, 25 explosive charges, and 22 anti-personnel mines. These figures contribute to the month’s total of 5,235 cleared explosives, highlighting the intensive nature of the ongoing clearance efforts.
The removed devices had been randomly scattered across Yemen’s territories, posing severe risks to civilians, particularly vulnerable groups such as children, women, and the elderly.
Humanitarian Impact
The Masam Project’s work extends beyond mere explosive removal, addressing the fundamental right of Yemeni civilians to live without fear in their communities. By clearing these dangerous devices, the project enables the safe movement of civilians, facilitates humanitarian aid delivery, and supports the restoration of normal daily life in affected areas.
KSrelief’s specialized teams operate under strict international safety protocols, ensuring professional handling of these hazardous materials while prioritizing the protection of both clearance personnel and local communities.
