Sana'a: On this day, June 14, the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition committed notable airstrikes and shelling that have resulted in significant casualties and damage in Yemen over the years. The aggressive actions have led to the loss of numerous lives and injuries among Yemeni civilians, as residential areas, markets, roads, and vehicles have been consistently targeted. According to Yemen News Agency, June 14, 2015, marked a particularly devastating day when airstrikes resulted in the deaths of 17 citizens, including five women, in the Al-Taiziyah District of Taiz Governorate. The strikes caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. A popular market and a tanker carrying mineral water in Taiz City were also targeted, claiming further lives and causing injuries. In Al-Jawf Governorate, 15 citizens were martyred, and many were injured during airstrikes on central markets and roads, emphasizing the indiscriminate nature of the attacks. Similar airstrikes in Saada, Dhamar, Aden, Lahj, and Sana'a Governorates further demonstrated the wide-reaching impact of the aggression. The following year, on June 14, 2016, a child was tragically killed, and his brother injured by a cluster bomb in Saada Governorate, highlighting the long-lasting dangers of unexploded ordnance. That same day, airstrikes and shelling continued to ravage various districts, affecting both civilians and their properties. On June 14, 2017, airstrikes and artillery shelling persisted, affecting multiple areas across Taiz, Saada, Hajjah, and Marib Governorates. The aggression led to injuries and further destruction of civilian infrastructure, with farms and residential areas being targeted without discrimination. The pattern of violence continued in subsequent years, with June 14, 2018, witnessing the deaths of seven citizens in Saada Governorate due to airstrikes. The shelling and airstrikes on this day also extended to other governorates, causing widespread devastation. June 14, 2019, saw continued airstrikes and shelling across Saada, Sana'a, H ajjah, Asir, and Al-Hodeida Governorates. The aggression resulted in injuries and property damage, underlining the sustained impact of the coalition's military actions on the Yemeni population. The violence did not abate in 2020, with airstrikes and shelling reported in multiple governorates. The attacks led to injuries and damage to civilian properties, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by the Yemeni people. The hostilities persisted through 2021 and 2022, with airstrikes, shelling, and the establishment of combat fortifications by mercenaries across Yemen. These actions have exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation, leaving many civilians in a state of vulnerability and fear. The latest reports on June 14, 2023, indicate that reconnaissance aircraft launched airstrikes in Al-Hodeida Governorate, with mercenaries continuing to establish combat fortifications and shell various areas. The ongoing aggression underscores the enduring challenges faced by Yemen in achieving peace and stability.
