Heavy toll of Saudi border crimes in Sa’ada

The Human Rights Office in Sa’ada governorate has revealed an extensive criminal record of ongoing violations and field aggressions carried out by Saudi forces along the border strip.

Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The office explained in a statement that the aggressions and direct shelling have resulted in “the martyrdom of 356 civilians and the injury of 2,632 others,” in addition to daily violations and crimes against African migrants. It indicated that the shelling goes beyond targeting individuals to deliberately destroy farms, citizens’ homes, and service facilities such as schools, health centers, and road networks.

The statement affirmed that the response operations carried out by Sana’a forces targeting Saudi forces’ barracks and gatherings are governed by the rules of self-defense and represent a “guaranteed and legitimate right to protect civilian property and repel aggression.”

Media sources in Sa’ada reported renewed Saudi aggressions on Thursday, as Saudi forces launched intensive and indiscriminate artillery shelling targeting various areas in the border district of “Baqim,” in addition to similar shelling aggressions targeting residential villages in the districts of “Razih” and “Ghamr.”
