News - Yemen: The Guidance Office in Shabwa Governorate condemned the targeting of Islamic monuments and historical evidence in the governorate by UAE mercenaries.

According to Saba news agency, the office confirmed in a statement that the demolition of shrines and historical monuments in Shabwa indicates the maliciousness of the project of the occupying forces and their mercenaries.

It pointed out that bombing shrines did not occur in Shabwa except by the Takfiri group and the tools of the US-Saudi-Emirati aggression, stressing that this was a targeting of the history of Yemen and the authentic Shabwani civilization.

In a document released last month, a rights group has published the number of killed and injured by the US-Saudi aggression and number of destroyed mosques during 2600 days of aggression.

According to Eye of Humanity Center (Ain al-Insiyah Center) for Human Rights and Development, 46,374 civilians, including nearly 14,000 women and children were killed and injured as a result of the direct bombing of homes, schools and markets.

During the 2600 days of the aggression, it said that about 1,622 mosques were destroyed by the US-Saudi aggression and its mercenaries.

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.
