Sana'a: On this day, December 14, a series of airstrikes by the U.S.-Saudi-Emirati coalition have left a devastating impact on several governorates, targeting residential neighborhoods, roads, and infrastructure, resulting in loss of lives, injuries, and extensive destruction of both public and private property.
According to Yemen News Agency, on December 14, 2015, the coalition's warplanes struck the Al-Nahdain area in Al-Sabeen District, causing significant damage to homes. Further airstrikes were conducted in Harian District and the Aham Triangle in Haradh District, Hajjah Governorate. The following year, 2016, witnessed more airstrikes in Sa'ada Governorate, injuring citizens and causing destruction to vehicles and homes. The strikes extended to various districts, including Baqim, Al-Sabeen, and Bilad Al-Rus, targeting both infrastructure and civilian properties.
The aggression continued into 2017, with airstrikes in Taiz Governorate resulting in the death of twelve citizens. Sa'ada Governorate also saw casualties, including women and children, due to airstrikes on roads and residential areas. Moreover, the coalition's aircraft conducted multiple airstrikes across several governorates, impacting civilian lives and properties extensively.
The pattern of destruction persisted in 2018, with injuries reported from cluster bomb explosions in Al-Hodeida Governorate. The coalition's aircraft targeted farms, schools, and residential areas, causing significant disruptions and damage. In 2019, airstrikes and artillery shelling claimed more lives and injured several citizens, particularly in Sa'ada and Al-Hodeida Governorates, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation.
By 2020, the situation remained dire as reconnaissance aircraft carried out airstrikes in Al-Hodeida, while mercenaries established combat fortifications and shelled various areas, leading to extensive damage. The following year, 2021, saw continued aggression with landmines claiming lives and airstrikes impacting districts across multiple governorates, including Taiz, Hajjah, and Al-Jawf.
As of December 14, 2022, the coalition's operations had yet to relent, with artillery and gunfire shelling recorded in Al-Hodeida Governorate, underscoring the ongoing conflict's severe impact on civilian life and infrastructure in the region.
