Yemen: On October 21, during the years 2015 and 2018, the US-Saudi aggression deliberately committed war crimes and horrific massacres, systematically destroying homes, residential neighborhoods, public properties, vehicles, and a gas station in the provinces of Sa'adah, Sana'a, Hodeidah, and Hajjah with brutal airstrikes.

These strikes resulted in 16 martyrs and dozens of wounded, including women and children, and the destruction of properties, homes, and vehicles. The aggression left dozens of families displaced and homeless, exacerbating the suffering of civilians. Despite witnessing these atrocities, the international community has yet to fulfill its legal, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities.

Below are the key details of the aggression’s crimes against the Yemeni people on this day:

On October 21, 2015, US-Saudi warplanes targeted several civilian homes in the Bani Hashish district, killing two people and wounding 10 others, including children and women. Several families were forced to flee their homes, and extensive property damage was recorded.

The once peaceful skies of Sana'a were shattered by the roar of the planes, transforming joy into grief, and safety into terror. In moments, the homes of innocent civilians turned into graves, as US-Saudi bombs rained down on defenseless children, women, and elderly citizens.
