News - Yemen: The US-Saudi aggression targeted the waste collection area of the Executive Center for Mine Action in Bani Matar district early Friday, with the aim of concealing evidence related to war crimes against Yemen, the Center said.

"The aggression’s targeting of the assembly area was intended to hide the weapons it used to kill the Yemeni people from cluster bombs or the remnants of the raids," the Executive Center for Mine Action said in a statement. "The raids led to the death of one of the guards of the waste collection area."

It pointed out that the area of gathering remnants of the US-Saudi aggression was known and had been visited by the United Nations.

The Center held the US-Saudi aggression full responsible for the safety of citizens in the neighboring villages, after targeting the area for collecting the remnants of the aggression.

The US-Saudi raids on the weapons remnants collection area of the Executive Center for Mine Action in Bani Matar led to the spread of most of the remnants of the aggression’s weapons that were used on the homes and farms of citizens and the line linking the two governorates Hodeidah and Sana'a

The Center called on citizens not to approach the area of collecting the remnants of the aggression or touch any foreign object in order to preserve their safety.

Since the beginning of the latest escalation of the Saudi-US coalition, the aggression has launched daily night raids targeting residential neighborhoods in the capital, Sana'a, and Yemeni governorates, killing and wounding about 500 civilians.

Saudi Arabia, backed by the United States and regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi back to power.

The US-Saudi aggression continues to target neighborhoods and populated areas and destroy the infrastructure and capabilities of the country, in light of a suspicious international silence.

The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
