Sana'a: On this day, October 21, the air forces of the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition launched attacks targeting civilians in their homes, on roads, and destroying schools, mosques, and infrastructure in various governorates of Yemen. These actions have led to the martyrdom and injury of dozens of citizens.
According to Yemen News Agency, the events of October 21, 2015, saw significant devastation as two citizens were martyred and a third injured due to airstrikes by coalition forces on Hadhran Mosque and a citizen's house in the Al-Sharfa area of Bani Hashish District in Sana'a Governorate. Additional airstrikes in the region resulted in injuries and damage to farms and homes.
In Taiz Governorate, four inmates of Al-Jund Prison were martyred, and others injured due to the attacks. The coalition's air force also targeted Taiz University, the Republican Palace, and various city areas, causing massive damage to homes and public facilities.
Further north, in Saada Governorate, airstrikes resulted in the martyrdom of two citizens and injuries to others, alongside the destruction of a school in the Al-Salem area. The coalition also targeted homes and infrastructure in Hajjah Governorate, launching several airstrikes on Abs and Haradh cities.
The aggression continued in the following years, with significant events on October 21, 2016, when mercenaries targeted areas in Dhale'a and Lahj Governorates with various weapons. Airstrikes in Marib Governorate caused material damage, and Saudi forces shelled border districts in Saada.
On the same date in 2017, further airstrikes across multiple governorates, including Taiz, Lahj, and Hajjah, led to civilian casualties and widespread destruction. In 2018, airstrikes on Hodeida and Hajjah Governorates resulted in the death and injury of several citizens.
The violence persisted in 2019, with airstrikes in Saada and artillery shelling in Hodeida, causing the loss of civilian lives, including women and children. The subsequent year, coalition forces launched numerous airstrikes in Marib and Jawf, while mercenaries shelled areas in Hodeida with artillery.
In 2021, airstrikes in the Capital Secretariat and various districts in Saada, Shabwa, and Marib Governorates resulted in further casualties and infrastructure damage.
