Hodeidah: On this day, July 25, a series of airstrikes by the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition resulted in significant casualties and destruction across Yemen. Dozens of people were killed and injured as the aggression targeted residential neighborhoods and other civilian areas. The assaults also involved fire from mercenaries and border guard forces.
According to Yemen News Agency, the attacks on July 25, 2015, led to the death of 55 citizens, with dozens more injured, primarily women and children. The aggression's aircraft targeted residential units in Al-Mokha District, Taiz Governorate, which housed engineers, workers, and displaced persons. Additionally, eight women were killed in an airstrike on a house and a water well in the Al-Hashmah area of Taiz City. The government complex in Dhubab District was completely destroyed, and several airstrikes were launched on Bab al-Mandab. The Marib Governorate saw over 11 airstrikes on various locations, including the Old Dam and Al-Ashraf village. A strategic bridge on the road connecting Amran and Saada governorates was also targeted.
On the same date in 2016, the coalition's aircraft struck the home of Sheikh Hussein Al-Dhama Al-Jahmi in Sirwah District, Marib Governorate, causing extensive damage. Additional targets included Sirwah Market, Al-Tal'ah area in Kitaf District, and several locations across Saada and Hajjah Governorates. Intense shelling in Taiz and Al-Jawf Governorates by mercenaries further compounded the devastation.
In 2017, an attack on a vehicle carrying displaced people in Al-Kadihah area, Taiz Governorate, resulted in more casualties. Saada Governorate endured multiple airstrikes and shelling with cluster bombs. Haradh and Midi districts in Hajjah Governorate were also bombarded.
The year 2018 saw further destruction, with airstrikes and artillery shelling in Saada, Hodeida, and Lahj Governorates causing injuries and damage. In 2019, mercenaries targeted civilian areas in Hodeida and Saada Governorates, leading to the death of a child and injuries to a girl. The aggression's aircraft continued their assault on various locations across Hajjah and Saada Governorates.
In 2020, the coalition's attacks persisted with airstrikes in Saada, Hajjah, Amran, and Marib Governorates, while mercenaries shelled Hodeida Governorate. The following year, multiple airstrikes were carried out in Marib Governorate, with additional shelling in Hodeida Governorate.
On July 25, 2022, reconnaissance aircraft launched an airstrike in Hodeida Governorate, and mercenary artillery targeted locations across Marib, Taiz, Hajjah, and Saada Governorates. The aggression continued into 2023 with airstrikes and artillery shelling in Hodeida Governorate, where mercenaries established military fortifications.
These ongoing airstrikes and military aggression by the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition have led to significant loss of life and damage across Yemen, affecting numerous communities and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
