A/HRC/39/43
12.
A second peak in airstrikes and casualties took place following seven Houthi
missiles launched against Saudi Arabia on 25 March 2018, and as significant changes were
implemented in the military leadership of the coalition and the Yemen Armed Forces (see
Annex 1). In April 2018, according to Yemen Data Project, approximately 400 air raids
took place and, according to OHCHR, at least 200 civilians were killed.
13.
The Experts prioritized investigation of incidents occurring since August 2017, to
update OHCHR’s last public report. Although the incidents investigated are only a small
sample of the devastation caused by airstrikes, the Experts’ detailed fact-finding in these
cases allowed a more in-depth knowledge of the practices of the coalition.
