MASAM Destroys 600 more Houthi landmines and other explosives in Yemen
Members of the Saudi Project for Landmine Clearance, also known as Project Masam, safely detonated 600 mines, unexploded ordnance and other explosive devices on Wednesday. The project's engineers had demined and removed the devices over the past few months from various parts of Yemen, including the town of Beihan and the districts of Usaylan and Ain in Shabwah governorate. Hussein Al-Aqili, commander of the project's survey team, said they carried out the destruction operation in the Thahba area of Ain district on Wednesday as part of their ongoing mission to clear mines and other remnants of war in Yemen, and save civilian lives. The project has cleared nearly 500,000 mines from the country since its work there began in 2018. Last week, Ousama Algosaibi, the managing director of Masam, warned that the Houthis continue to exploit periods of truce to plant more mines across Yemen. 'We are in a constant race with the Houthi militias; we clear mines from one side while they plant more on the other,' he said during an interview with Al-Ekhbariya TV.

Israeli airstrikes hit near Damascus amid sectarian unrest, civilian casualties reported
Damascus, May 1 (UNI) Israeli warplanes launched two airstrikes Wednesday afternoon on the town of Ashrafiyat Sahnaya, southwest of Damascus, amid rising sectarian tensions and ongoing clashes in the area, Syrian state media reported. According to Syrian state-run Al-Ekhbariya TV, the strikes caused injuries among civilians, including members of the Druze community, who have been at the center of recent unrest near the capital. The report did not specify the number or severity of casualties. Explosions were heard across Damascus shortly after Israeli jets were reported flying at low altitude over the city. The reported strikes came shortly after Israel issued a warning that it would target positions in Syria if necessary to protect Druze communities, following days of deadly violence involving local Druze fighters and pro-government forces in southern Damascus suburbs. Ashrafiyat Sahnaya has been the site of intense clashes since Tuesday night. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 39 people have been killed in Jaramana, Sahnaya, and Ashrafiyat Sahnaya over the past 72 hours, including Druze locals, security forces, and pro-government militia members. Syrian authorities have not officially commented on the Israeli strikes beyond confirming the attacks and injuries. UNI XINHUA GNK
