Due to Explosion of A cluster Bomb Child was Injured in Saada Governorate

The 13-year-old child, Nasser Shawish Nasser Mokhad, was injured today by the explosion of a cluster bomb left over from the coalition raids in Saada Governorate, northern Yemen.

An official source in the National Program for Dealing with Landmines told the “Yemen Press Agency”: “The child Mukhad was hit by shrapnel from the cluster bomb while grazing sheep in Haidan District, and it led to the amputation of one of his fingers,” adding that the child Mukhad was wounded by several shrapnel throughout his body.

This comes after three shepherds, “Yahya Jamaan Saleh Shawan, Salem Muhammad Muhammad al-Nawari, and Hamza Muhammad Ahmad Margham” were injured during the past two days in Haidan by shrapnel from the coalition cluster bombs.

The national program for dealing with mines recorded the killing and wounding of more than 3,841 civilians, most of them women and children, by the remnants of cluster bombs dropped by coalition aircraft on various Yemeni regions over the past period.
