Yemen: On January 23 of the years 2016, 2017, and 2018, the US-Saudi aggression deliberately committed war crimes and acts of genocide through brutal airstrikes targeting civilians in their homes, markets, mosques, vehicles, and public roads. This time, the focus of the attacks was on various areas in Sa'adah Governorate.

The airstrikes resulted in 32 martyrs, including women and children, and 25 injured, leaving dozens of families homeless, depriving them of breadwinners and sources of income, and exacerbating their living conditions. Additionally, the strikes destroyed two mosques, two markets, shops, dozens of vehicles, a water project, and caused extensive damage to properties, roads, streets, and residential neighborhoods. The bombings spread terror among children and women, restricted movement, and left shocking scenes that violated international laws and conventions and shook the global conscience.
