Sana'a: The Shura Council has strongly condemned the crime committed by the US aggression, which directly struck Farwa neighborhood and market, a densely populated shopping area in Shu'ub district of the capital Sana'a. The aggression attack reportedly resulted in the deaths of dozens, primarily children and women, and caused damage to civilian properties.
According to Yemen News Agency, the Council denounced the continued targeting of civilians, residential areas, and civilian infrastructure by the US aggression as a violation of all international and humanitarian laws and norms.
The Council asserted that targeting a residential neighborhood and a popular market constitutes a "crime against humanity and a full-fledged war crime that cannot be excused by time." They stated that this latest incident adds to a series of deliberate US crimes against the Yemeni people, exposing the alleged hypocrisy of American claims regarding human rights protection.
The Shura Council held America responsible for the attack on residential areas and civilian facilities and its humanitarian consequences for the Yemeni people. It affirmed the Yemeni Armed Forces' right to confront and respond to American crimes through all available means.
The Council reiterated that the ongoing American escalation and massacres against the Yemeni people would only strengthen their resolve to continue supporting the oppressed Palestinian people and their cause.
The statement also criticized the Arab, Islamic, and international silence regarding American crimes against the Yemeni people, given their support for Palestinians facing a war of genocide by the Israeli enemy.
The Shura Council called on the United Nations, the Security Council, and its humanitarian agencies to take immediate action, condemn the American aggression, and demand that American leaders be held accountable and tried as "war criminals" before international courts.
