A man and two children were killed in the blast of a Houthi-laid landmine in Yemen's Hodeidah province on Thursday, it has been learnt.

Rights sources said a Houthi-laid landmine went off in Aljaabali neighborhood in Hodeidah's provincial capital in western Yemen killing a man and two children.

Houthi terrorists are responsible for planting nearly two landmine landmines in eight years in Yemen, the largest number of landmines planted in a single country since WWII.
