They're useless against aliens. At least in terms of damage.
I tested on a large group of aliens in central asia, where there are very few cities and resource hexes. The aliens like to color hexes, so I figured that they will interact with the land mines that I randomly placed there.
What I found out is that aliens do step on the land mines, the land mines detonate but deal 0 damage to them (couldn't screenshot since it happened between turns).
So land mines serve as a distraction for the aliens, but not as good as the other forts (UFOs don't deal a lot of damage to forts, and forts have high HP).
