Sana'a: On this day, March 11, the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression targeted citizens and their properties across several governorates in Yemen, resulting in numerous casualties, including women and children, and extensive destruction of both public and private property.

According to Yemen News Agency, on March 11, 2016, a series of airstrikes by the coalition's warplanes injured several citizens in Taiz, destroyed telecommunications infrastructure in Lahj, and inflicted severe damage to homes, agricultural lands, and roads in Sana'a governorate. Further airstrikes targeted the vocational institute in Marib, causing considerable damage to its facilities.

On the same date in 2017, the remnants of the aggression led to injuries from cluster bombs in Saada. Airstrikes in Sana'a governorate caused significant property damage, while attacks in Marib and Taiz continued to devastate infrastructure and homes. The coalition also launched multiple airstrikes targeting strategic locations across several governorates, resulting in widespread damage.

The violence persisted on March 11, 2018, with heavy airstrikes on Marib, Amran, Al-Jawf, and Hodeida governorates, damaging homes and farms. The coalition's relentless air campaign extended to Saada, with further assaults causing destruction in multiple districts. Missile and artillery shelling by the Saudi army damaged farms and properties in various areas.

In 2019, airstrikes martyred 15 citizens in Hajjah governorate, with additional casualties reported in Kushar district. Heavy artillery and missile shelling targeted villages and infrastructure in Hodeida, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

The aggression continued in 2020, resulting in the deaths of health sector staff due to targeted attacks on ambulances. The coalition's airstrikes in Marib and Al-Jawf caused further destruction, while mercenaries engaged in extensive shelling across Hodeida governorate, intensifying the conflict's impact on civilians.

On March 11, 2021, significant airstrikes in Sana'a and Marib caused widespread damage, with further attacks reported in Hodeida and Saada governorates. The Saudi army's missile and artillery shelling continued to target populated areas, adding to the civilian toll.

The violence persisted into 2022, with airstrikes and ground attacks causing casualties and damage in Saada, Hajjah, Taiz, and Lahj governorates. The coalition's unrelenting air campaign continued across Marib and Al-Jawf, further devastating civilian areas.

Most recently, on March 11, 2023, reconnaissance airstrikes and artillery shelling targeted Hais district in Hodeida, with combat fortifications established by mercenaries in Al-Tuhaita district, marking yet another year of sustained aggression and hardship for Yemeni citizens.
