Hodeida:On October 13 over several years, a series of airstrikes and military actions led by US-Saudi-Emirati forces have resulted in numerous casualties and significant destruction in Yemen. In 2015, airstrikes in Al-Khokha District, Hodeida Governorate, martyred five citizens and injured 18, with considerable damage to homes and infrastructure. Similar attacks targeted various other districts, causing extensive property damage.
According to Yemen News Agency, the aggression continued in subsequent years, with airstrikes in 2016 injuring civilians and damaging telecommunications networks in multiple districts. In 2017, targeted airstrikes caused further destruction in Sana'a, Hajjah, Saada, and other governorates, damaging homes and farms. The attacks also included missile and artillery shelling by Saudi forces on border areas.
In 2018, airstrikes tragically martyred 19 citizens and injured 30 others in Hodeida Governorate when they struck buses carrying displaced families. The following years saw continued aggression, with airstrikes and shelling causing casualties and property damage across the region. In 2019, a girl was martyred by a cluster bomb explosion, and in 2020 and 2021, sniper fire and airstrikes continued to harm civilians and damage infrastructure.
The ongoing conflict has led to new combat fortifications and shelling in various districts, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Despite multiple years of aggression, the violence continues to disrupt lives and communities in the region.
