Sana'a: On this day, August 14, the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and its mercenaries have been accused of committing crimes against the Yemeni people, leading to the deaths and injuries of dozens while causing significant destruction to both public and private properties.
According to Yemen News Agency, on August 14, 2015, a series of airstrikes in the Huwaidi area of the Kitaf district in Saada Governorate resulted in the deaths of four children and their father, while three others, including a woman, were injured. In the same year, Hussein Khamas, the director-general of the Dhaher district, was killed in a targeted airstrike as he was heading to dawn prayers. The aggression continued with missile and artillery shelling in Razih and Dhaher districts, causing more casualties and destruction.
In Hajjah Governorate, an airstrike on the village of Al-Dashoush resulted in the deaths of four women and injuries to several others. Meanwhile, in Sana'a Governorate, airstrikes in the Farzat Nihm area injured a citizen and damaged multiple homes. The aggression's air force also targeted a security checkpoint in Ibb City, leading to extensive property damage.
The following year, on August 14, 2016, airstrikes in various areas of Saada Governorate, including the Maran area and Sunbulah Agricultural Association, caused injuries to civilians and significant destruction to infrastructure. The coalition's air assaults extended to Shabwa, Hajjah, Amran, and other governorates, severely impacting civilian structures and communication networks.
In 2017, the coalition launched further airstrikes across Taiz, Amran, Saada, and Hajjah governorates, targeting both military and civilian locations. The attacks resulted in multiple casualties, including the deaths of six mercenaries in Marib Governorate.
The aggression persisted into 2018, with more than 25 civilians killed or wounded in Ad-Durayhimi District, Hodeida Governorate, as a result of targeted airstrikes on homes and markets. In subsequent years, the pattern of aggression continued with airstrikes and artillery shelling causing extensive damage and civilian casualties across various governorates in Yemen.
In recent years, the aggression has expanded to include reconnaissance aircraft raids and the establishment of combat fortifications by mercenaries in strategic locations. These actions have continued to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, affecting countless civilians and disrupting their daily lives.
The ongoing aggression and its repercussions highlight the dire situation faced by the Yemeni people on this historically significant day.
