(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 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.
