The United Nations Mission to Support the Hudaydah Agreement (UNMHA) has recorded one (01) landmine and explosive remnant of war (ERW) related incident in Hudaydah Governorate in January 2025. In this incident, one (01) boy was injured in Hays district. During the past year, Al-Hali, Ad Durayhimi, and At Tuhayta have been the districts in the governorate most affected by landmine and ERW incidents.
Yemen remains heavily contaminated by explosive devices, with Hudaydah Governorate being one of the most impacted due to heavy fighting in the past and continued conflict along the frontlines in the south of the governorate. While an overall reduction in casualty numbers has been observed, the daily threat to civilians posed by landmines and ERW remains significant and UNMHA urges the local population to be cautious, especially when accessing unknown areas.
