A citizen named Ahmed Shoee Fahdel has lost his leg and sustained scattered body injuries in the explosion of a landmine planted by the militia in Makhawi farms in Hairan of Hajja, local sources told September Net.

The victim was taken to receive treatment at hospitals in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the sources added.
