Yemen: On November 26, in the years 2015, 2016, and 2018, the US-Saudi aggression deliberately committed war crimes and acts of genocide through brutal airstrikes and the use of cluster bombs.

These attacks targeted civilians in their homes, travelers on the roads, and farmers on their lands across Yemen's Sa'adah, Hajjah, and Hodeidah provinces. The assaults resulted in 26 deaths and 20 injuries, mostly women and children, while destroying homes, farms, and livestock, and inflicting widespread damage on civilian properties.

Here are the key incidents:

The vehicle, once a mode of transport, was turned into a fiery wreck, with passengers reduced to ashes and scattered remains. Survivors were severely injured, their blood staining the roads. Locals rushed to the scene to aid the injured and collect the remains, mourning the tragic loss amidst a backdrop of destruction.
