A/HRC/42/CRP.1 in an area called al-Nukhaylah,849 while airstrikes hit the streets and cars. At around 12:30 hrs, a projectile coming from the west hit a house in the eastern side of the village. A family had been hiding in the same room for hours. The projectile entered from one wall and went out from another, leaving holes in the walls and rubble behind and causing part of the ceiling to collapse. The attack injured the owner of the house, his mother, his wife, and his three sons, including a 10-day-old and a nine-month-old. The family could not escape on the day of the attack due to continued fighting. All family members, now displaced, continue to suffer from their injuries, including one child having breathing problems, and all the adults still have health issues due to their inability to pay for the required medical care. 546. Based on the evidence available, the Group of Experts has reasonable grounds to believe that the shells fired in this incident were fired by Yemeni armed forces and affiliated UAE-backed armed groups. The house was in a civilian populated area. The shelling seems to have been carried out during heavy fighting between the two forces, which were firing at each other from opposite sides of the village. From the information available, the shell that hit the house in question was just one of many that landed on the village on that day. Considering the direction from which the shell came and the location of the parties, the Group of Experts found reasonable grounds to believe that the shell was fired by individuals fighting for the Yemeni armed forces and affiliated UAE-backed armed groups. The use of such weapons during a battle in a civilian populated area showed failure to take into account the life and safety of civilians.

The affected houses, located in the southwest side of the city, were in the middle of the crossfire. Witnesses observed that there were Houthi snipers located near the house.

(Details of date withheld for protection reasons), al-Hudaydah City 549. On a day in 2018, a shell landed next to a school and a mosque, in al-Hudaydah city. Three girls were walking in the area, all of whom were killed immediately, and two adult males were injured. No active fighting was happening at the time of the incident and the area where it occurred is a densely populated civilian area. The shell came from the south, where the Yemeni armed forces and affiliated UAE-backed armed groups were based. The Group of Experts was not able to identify any apparent military objective in the area. The location and the time of the attack also raise serious concerns over the precautions taken to protect civilians, as it would have been known that civilians would be in the streets. 849 850 Location of the incident on file, removed for protection purposes.
