Sana'a:On November 14, over multiple years, US-Saudi-Emirati aggression aircraft have repeatedly launched airstrikes on various governorates, causing significant damage to public and private properties and resulting in civilian casualties. The use of internationally banned cluster bombs has been reported in several instances.
According to Yemen News Agency, on November 14, 2015, airstrikes targeted locations such as Hailan Mountain, Sirwah District, and Al-Jadaan areas in Marib Governorate. The airstrikes also hit the Niabah checkpoint and roads in Al-Jawf Governorate, causing damages to infrastructure and civilian homes. Subsequent strikes over the years have targeted multiple areas, including water wells, block factories, and farms, resulting in both destruction and loss of life.
In 2016, a series of airstrikes in Ibb Governorate led to the martyrdom of 11 citizens and the injury of five others. The strikes destroyed trucks carrying petroleum products and food supplies and severely impacted the environment due to fires. In Saada Governorate, airstrikes and cluster bombs caused extensive damage to farms and property. Similar destructive activities continued in the following years, with airstrikes and artillery shelling reported in various districts, including Hodeida, Dhamar, and Hajjah.
In 2017, strikes targeted Sana'a International Airport, destroying its navigation system, and further airstrikes were reported at Hodeida International Airport. Aggression aircraft also targeted positions in Saada Governorate, resulting in casualties among mercenary groups.
By 2019, airstrikes and mercenary artillery shelling had caused further damage in districts such as Hays and Al-Tuhayta in Hodeida Governorate, with additional strikes reported in Marib and Saada. The destruction of homes and infrastructure has continued to escalate, with repeated incidents of shelling and airstrikes over the years.
The persistent aggression has led to the establishment of combat fortifications by mercenaries in Hodeida Governorate, with ongoing shelling and airstrikes impacting the lives and properties of civilians across the affected regions.
