Yemen Human Rights Commission condemns military actions in Saada

The Yemen Human Rights Commission has issued a strong condemnation of recent military actions in the border villages of Saada province. The Commission described the actions as “full-fledged war crimes” and crimes against humanity committed against unarmed civilians.

According to the statement, military operations in the Munabbih district, including gunfire in the Mahalla and Al-Qahr-Hattab areas, resulted in injuries to a local citizen and an African migrant. Further reports indicate that missile and artillery shelling targeted populated villages in the Al-Zahir, Marran, and Haidan districts, causing injuries, property destruction, and the terrorization of women and children.

The Commission asserted that these incidents are not accidental but represent a systematic policy of killing. It held the Saudi regime legally and criminally responsible under the four Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law. Additionally, the Commission called upon the United Nations, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and international media to break their silence and investigate these ongoing violations.
