(Middle East Monitor) Three Yemeni children were killed in a landmine explosion in central Bayda province, a local NGO said Saturday, reports Anadolu Agency.
The children were killed when the device exploded as they were grazing sheep in the al-Zaher district, the Yemeni Landmine Records said in a statement.
The NGO, which documents victims of mines and unexploded ordnance, did not lay blame for the deaths on any group.
The UN estimates that more than 2 million landmines were planted across war-torn Yemen.
