The Saudi-led coalition said on Wednesday it launched 28 airstrikes in Yemen’s northwestern province of Hajjah in the past 24 hours.
Though the immediate damage was not known. The Saudi government claimed that the strikes destroyed 14 vehicles of the Houthi rebels.
The airstrikes coincided with raging battles between the forces of the government and the Houthis in several parts of the province bordering Saudi Arabia.
Since March 2015, Amnesty International’s researchers have investigated dozens of air strikes and repeatedly found and identified remnants of US-manufactured munitions.
Amnesty International previously identified the use of the same US-made Raytheon bombs used on 21 January in a Saudi-led air strike carried out on 28 June 2019 on a residential home in Ta’iz governorate, Yemen, that killed six civilians — including three children.
