Additional strikes were carried out in Saada Governorate, causing injuries and extensive damage to homes. The coalition also targeted areas in Sana'a Governorate, destroying critical infrastructure such as bridges and homes. The following year, on September 11, 2016, the coalition's aircraft targeted educational facilities in Taiz Governorate, causing extensive damage to school buildings. Multiple airstrikes in Al-Bayda and Jiz an further exacerbated the situation, leading to widespread destruction of homes and property. In 2017, airstrikes in Saada Governorate resulted in three deaths, while significant damage was reported in Hajjah, Sana'a, and Taiz governorates due to the coalition's continued aggression. The pattern of destruction persisted in subsequent years.

The relentless attacks have drawn widespread condemnation and have highlighted the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
