Yemen’s Foreign Ministry says the reported strikes have killed 232 civilians and injured 536 others, including women and children, while accusing Saudi Arabia of targeting civilian infrastructure.
San’a, Yemen (SLpost)- Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out thousands of air and missile strikes across the country since July 13, 2026, claiming that the attacks have killed and injured hundreds of civilians, including women and children.
In a statement issued by the ministry’s media centre, the Yemeni authorities said more than 3,830 air and missile strikes had been recorded since the latest escalation began on July 13, when Sana’a International Airport was reportedly targeted.
The ministry said the reported civilian death toll had reached 768 as of October 30, 2026, including 232 fatalities and 536 people injured.
According to the figures released by the ministry, those killed included 68 children and 35 women, while the injured comprised 137 children and 72 women.
The statement highlighted several recent incidents that it described as attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Among them was an alleged Saudi airstrike on the central market in Al-Hazm, in Yemen’s Al-Jawf Governorate, which the ministry said killed 14 people, including three children and two women, and injured another 15.
The ministry also reported an attack on the Al-Bajash family in Al-Shamayatayn District, Taiz Governorate, claiming that six people were killed, including four children and one woman, while two others, including a child, were injured.
Other reported targets included the Faculty of Medicine in Al-Hudaydah Governorate and an oil company station in the district of Bajil, also in Al-Hudaydah.
The Yemeni ministry described the alleged attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure as serious violations of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and Additional Protocol I of 1977, which establish protections for civilians during armed conflicts.
It also criticised what it called the international community’s silence and failure to respond to the reported incidents, arguing that the lack of accountability amounted to a failure of both legal and moral responsibility.
The ministry further warned that what it described as inconsistent international responses to alleged war crimes risked encouraging further attacks and undermining the protection of civilians.
Concluding its statement, the ministry reaffirmed Yemen’s commitment to international law and international humanitarian law, while reiterating its position that the country’s legitimate rights must be secured.
It called for an end to what it described as the aggression and blockade imposed on Yemen, which it said had continued for 12 years.
The casualty figures and allegations of responsibility cited in the statement have not been independently verified by Somalilandpost News.
