Houthis plants landmines randomly, Yemeni official says‏

Yemeni military officials accused on Sunday Houthi militias of randomly planting landmines and explosive devices along streets, houses and farms from where the rebels have been expelled, adding to the misery of people, including children, women and the elderly. Landmines and explosives threaten the lives of millions of Yemenis and have killed and injured hundreds of them so reports of humanitarian organizations suggest that Yemen has become one of the largest landmine battlefields in the world since World War II. Yemen has been in war since 2014 as the Iran-backed Houthis overran the capital of Sanaa, then in 2015 the Saudi-led military Arab coalition entered Yemen in response to a request from the international recognized government led by the Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi to fight the rebels.
