Lahj:The local authority in Lahj Governorate has strongly condemned a Saudi airstrike on Al-Sahhi-Karbah Mountain Pass in Al-Maqatirah District, which resulted in injuries to two civilians. This attack is described as part of a systematic campaign targeting civilian and service facilities.
According to Yemen News Agency, the local authority stated that this attack is part of a series of violations against Lahj residents. Previous targets by Saudi forces included Al-Ma'een School and Mosque in Zureiqat Al-Sham, followed by attacks on a school, a health unit, and a pharmacy in the same area.
The local authority holds the Saudi regime fully responsible for these attacks and their consequences, characterizing the targeting of educational and health facilities as a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law and a war crime that warrants accountability. It has called upon international, humanitarian, and human rights organizations to document these violations and take action against those responsible.
The statement also addressed those fighting alongside Saudi forces, highlighting that the Saudi enemy is indiscriminately targeting facilities, schools, health units, pharmacies, and civilians, including sons, women, and children. The local authority emphasized the aggressive nature of these attacks, reaffirming that Yemeni lives are being treated as expendable.
The authority renewed its call for those misled into joining the Saudi side to reconsider their stance, take advantage of the presidential amnesty, and return to the national fold. It warned that history would not forgive those who betray their country and participate in the killing of their own people. The statement concluded by affirming that the blood of Lahj's people would not be shed in vain and that the governorate's residents would remain a strong bulwark against any attempts to undermine its security and stability.
