The National Human Rights Commission of Yemen and various rights groups continue to report severe violations of international humanitarian law. Recent escalations include Saudi-led airstrikes in the Taiz governorate, where a strike on a central market reportedly killed seven civilians and wounded between 40 and 43 others. Other strikes in Taiz have targeted residential areas in the Dhubab and Al-Ma'afir districts, as well as a sports club and hall, resulting in numerous civilian deaths and injuries. On October 28, 2026, the Commission condemned strikes in Al Jawf province targeting the Al-Hazm popular market and the Al-Taysir fuel station, which reportedly killed 14 people and injured 16, including women and children. The Commission described these attacks as “deliberate and direct,” labeling them war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the Maqbanah district of Taiz, an airstrike on a private residence reportedly killed eight people, mostly women and children, an incident the Commission characterized as a “family genocide.” By October 31, 2026, the Commission reported that airstrikes destroyed a paint and chemical factory and an ice factory in the Al-Taiziyah and Mocha districts, causing an estimated $3.2 million in losses. Additionally, strikes targeting the Hayjat al-Abd road reportedly severed a vital link between Taiz and Lahj. On November 4, 2026, the Commission reported further casualties: an airstrike in the Al-Barah area of Taiz reportedly killed seven people, including two children, and injured six children. In Saada, strikes targeting farmers and medics in the Talh area reportedly left seven dead and six injured, while airstrikes in Sanaa destroyed two water wells in the Hamdan district. On November 5, 2026, Houthi officials reported that an attack on the Al-Hadara market in the Al-Wazi’iyah district of Taiz killed at least 30 people and wounded eight.
