Yemen: The US-Saudi aggression has intensified moments after its announcement from Washington, targeting infrastructure and vital installations with the aim of eradicating all of Yemen's capabilities and wealth, halting the public life of citizens, and cutting off their livelihoods and lives.

On the fifteenth of April 2015, the aggressive bombing focused on targeting fuel stations and crowded markets in the provinces of Sa’adah and Amran.

66 martyrs and wounded in the bombing of Sa’adah

On this day, April 15, 2015, the US-Saudi aggression warplane targeted the Jarman fuel filling station in the city of Sa’adah, northern Yemen. The area was densely populated with citizens' homes, and as a result of this targeting, more than 66 citizens were killed or injured, with 17 citizens martyred due to their bodies being charred as a result of the station being bombed, while the number of wounded reached 49 citizens.

This targeting also resulted in successive explosions of gas-operated transportation "buses", in addition to the explosion of a number of gas cylinders there at the fuel station. Smoke billowed to the extent of obscuring the vision of those neighboring the station.

Fear and panic pervaded the entire area, leading to the burning of a large number of citizens' cars, especially taxis, which were the only means of livelihood for citizens there in earning a living and seeking halal sustenance, in addition to the burning of motorcycles that were nearby the station.

Citizens faced great difficulty in rescuing the wounded and transporting them to the hospital for treatment due to the continued massive and escalating fire resulting from the hateful and criminal raids of the US-Saudi aggression on the Jarman fuel station.

At that time, this crime was widely condemned by the citizens who witnessed the smoke rising from the station and saw the citizens' remains scattered on the public road in the city of Sa’adah. These charred remains remained attached to the ground for a long time due to the massive fire.

Martyrdom of 3 children and their mother in Saada

On this day in 2015, the aggression warplane continued searching for more innocent lives, persisting in its intensive targeting of neighborhoods and cities densely populated by civilians. It targeted the home of citizen Ahsan Sabr in the Old Saada area, resulting in the martyrdom of three children and their mother.

At that time, the spokesman for the aggression coalition, Ahmed Asiri, falsely claimed that they targeted weapons depots and gatherings, but in reality, they only targeted children with their mother, who were asleep in their home, which turned into a large pile of rubble due to the sinful raids. The enemy's usual practice was to make the remains of children real targets in its aggression.

115 martyrs and wounded in Amran

The US-Saudi aggression did not suffice with this brutality but continued its intensive targeting on the same day in the province of Amran, with the new target being the market of the city of Hawt, crowded with citizens. This led to the martyrdom and injury of more than 115 citizens, in addition to the near-total destruction of commercial shops. Thus, April 15, 2015, became a bloody day in every sense of the word.

At the same time, after the enemy monitored the central market of the city of Hawt, full of citizens, it immediately began targeting it. The death toll reached 45 martyrs, while the number of wounded reached 70. 

The martyrs who fell in the central market were buried in a mass grave in the city of Hawt, while the identities of those who remained there could not be identified due to the intensity of the targeting that turned their bodies into scattered small pieces. This scene was expressed by the citizens with sadness and grief due to this cowardly act that targeted innocent people in their shops.

The targeting of this market is one of hundreds of markets deliberately bombed by the aggression without justification, aiming to destroy the properties of citizens and kill anyone on them, using prohibited highly explosive bombs and deadly rockets. It's as if they were searching for something but didn't know what, yet they found legitimate targets among the bodies of citizens, their shops, and their properties.

26 martyrs and wounded in targeting markets in Saada

Returning to the province of Sa’adah on the same day, as part of the criminal sequence of targeting markets, the warplanes carried out several raids targeting the central market in the city of Sa’adah, resulting in the martyrdom of one citizen and the injury of 2 others with severe injuries, in addition to the complete destruction of commercial shops belonging to citizens.

On April 15, 2015, the US-Saudi aggression intensified its targeting of fuel stations and commercial shops in the province of Saada, from the border district of Baqim to the city of Sa’adah. This targeting resulted in the martyrdom of 7 citizens and the injury of 16 others with serious injuries.

Eyewitnesses noted the escalation of fires accompanied by accumulating smoke resulting from targeting fuel stations in a large number of directorates in the province of Sa’adah, which the enemy turned into a military zone in the context of destroying infrastructure and vital installations. It's a cowardly method that reflects the enemy's brutality and arrogance.

Eyewitnesses say that the US-Saudi aggression focused primarily on targeting the properties of citizens and bombing markets, commercial shops, bridges, and fuel stations to prevent people from living their normal lives.
