Rights group: 18 civilians killed or injured in Houthi attacks in Yemen over one week
Yemeni rights network reports 18 civilian casualties in Houthi missile and drone attacks targeting Marib, Taiz, and Hodeidah within a single week.
A Yemeni rights group has reported 18 civilian casualties and injuries as a result of Houthi missile and drone attacks across Marib, Taiz, and Hodeidah provinces within a one-week period. The Yemeni Network for Victims Links (YNV) documented the attacks on August 4 to August 15, detailing several instances of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.
On August 7, Houthi militias targeted the Al-Naseem displacement camp in Marib, killing two civilians and injuring 14 others, including women and children. The attack also caused significant damage to shelters and vital infrastructure. On August 9, attacks on Mokha, Al-Khokha, and the Saudi field hospital resulted in additional civilian casualties.
Throughout the week, Houthi shelling continued in various parts of Taiz, leading to injuries and damage to civilian areas. On August 11, a Houthi attack on a commercial vessel in international waters near the Bab Al-Mandab Strait resulted in the death of three crew members and injuries to others. The YNV described these attacks as war crimes and crimes against humanity, urging the international community to take action to protect civilians and investigate the violations committed.
