33 Civilians Killed in Saudi Airstrikes on Al-Waziyah, Yemen

At least 33 civilians, including 13 children, were killed and dozens more injured in three Saudi airstrikes targeting Al-Waziyah market and an agricultural field in Yemen’s Taiz province. The agricultural field had become a shelter for civilians.

According to Mehr News Agency, citing Al-Manar, field investigations by relevant Yemeni authorities indicate that American-guided bombs were used in these attacks. The investigations reveal that on the morning of November 6, a Saudi F-15 fighter jet took off from Khamis Mushait base and conducted three strikes on the two locations.

Abdullah Al-Junaid, Director-General of the Criminal Department of Taiz Province, stated that analysis of explosion marks and remaining shrapnel shows that laser-guided American bombs, specifically GBU-12 types, were used in the attacks. He added that these bombs had a 500-pound Mark 82 warhead.
