A/HRC/42/CRP.1 investigate. The patterns and violations described below are a non-comprehensive description of the effect of the fighting on civilians. (a) Airstrikes 517. Coalition airstrikes were a common feature of the fighting in al-Hudaydah. The Yemen Data Project reported that the coalition carried out at least 536 air raids between May 2018 and January 2019 in al-Hudaydah Governorate, which represented 34 per cent of the air raids in the country during that period. Al-Hudaydah Governorate was Yemen's second most heavily targeted governorate between May 2018 and January 2019, after Sa’dah (at least 596 air raids – 38 per cent), which has been the most heavily targeted governorate by coalition air raids since the air campaign began in March 2015. 828 The Group of Experts was able to reach factual conclusions on the impact of the airstrikes in three cases. 26 June 2018, Road between Zabid and al-Garrahi 518. On 26 June 2018, at 11:30 hrs, on the road between Zabid and al-Garrahi,829 approximately 10 km from al-Sarahi, in al-Hudaydah governorate, a white civilian minibus traveling eastbound was hit by an airstrike. The minibus was carrying 19 internally displaced persons, including one woman and three children, who were members of the fishing community fleeing fighting in al-Hudaydah. The minibus was also carrying outboard boat engines. According to examined materials and witnesses, the bus had passed a military checkpoint shortly before the airstrike hit it. The weather was clear, there was good visibility, and the surrounding terrain was flat. The single lane road was clear with limited traffic, and no buildings or other objects were in the immediate vicinity. A single blast hit the ground immediately to the rear of the vehicle. The bomb itself did not strike the vehicle directly. The blast seriously damaged the vehicle and set it on fire, and metal shrapnel was propelled throughout the vehicle. Nine occupants, all males including the driver and two boys, were killed, either directly from the explosion or by the ensuing fire.830 The remaining 10 passengers, including three boys and one woman, were all injured, suffering serious burns and shrapnel injuries, as well as serious trauma. 519. In response to a statement from the Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions, the JIAT issued a report on this incident.831 JIAT found that a coalition UAV (armed drone) had located a light utility vehicle, which was armed, North of Zabid city, al-Hudaydah. Thus, the vehicle, according to the JIAT, had lost its legal protection. The coalition air force, the JIAT added, took “all feasible precautions in the choice of means and methods of attack with a view of avoiding, and in any event, to minimizing, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects,” evidenced by the use of a proportionate precision-guided munition. The JIAT found that no collateral damage was sustained as the precision-guided munition made a precise, direct hit. 13 October 2018 - al-Musabriyah area - Jabal Ras District832 520. On 13 October 2018, at around 11:00 hrs, an airstrike hit two minibuses parked at a Houthi checkpoint in the al-Musabriyah area of the Jabal Ras District. The checkpoint is located just before reaching the mountains, and is the only one outside the village of alMusabriyah. It was manned by four Houthi men armed with AK47s. In one of the vehicles, three to four civilians were killed by the airstrike. In the second vehicle, up to 13 passengers were reportedly killed, including one woman and one child. Only three passengers survived. In total, there are credible reports that more than 34 civilians were injured, including, one woman and five children (three boys and two girls).
