An explosion killed five demining specialists in Yemen's central province of Marib on Sunday (January 20th), AFP reported.
A pro-government security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the five were foreign experts working on the Saudi-backed Masam landmine clearance project.
The official said the blast occurred as landmines were being transported to be destroyed.
A medic at a Marib hospital confirmed five bodies were brought to the hospital, adding that a number of other people were injured in the incident.
