January 25

2016: An airstrike on Sheikh Saleh Ahmed Redman’s home in Al-Jawf caused 19 casualties, including 12 deaths, and destroyed nearby homes.
2017: Airstrikes targeted Hodeidah radio station, injuring staff and destroying the facility in an apparent attempt to silence the media.
2018: A vehicle carrying civilians in Al-Jawf was struck, resulting in six deaths and two injuries.
2022: Strikes on public infrastructure in Sana’a and Sa’adah, including forensic facilities and road maintenance equipment, caused significant destruction and civilian casualties.

The devastating impact of these crimes underscores the urgent need for international intervention to halt the aggression, lift the blockade on Yemen, and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
