Local Authority in Hodeidah Condemns Aggression’s Dropping of Cluster Bomb on Bajil

The local authority in Hodeidah province condemned the dropping of a cluster bomb by the US-Saudi aggression’s warplanes on the Al-Arj area in Bajil district.

In a statement, the local authority denounced the aggression’s continuous violations of the Stockholm Agreement, flying of its spy drones and dropping of cluster bombs on citizens’ properties.

It called on the international community and the United Nations to play their role in stopping the aggression’s violations of the Stockholm Agreement on Hodeidah.

On Sunday, the aggression’s warplanes dropped a cluster bomb on Bajil district of Hodeidah.

The US-Saudi aerial aggression did not abide by the ceasefire agreement in Hodeidah, as it launches raids from time to time on the various regions of the province. In the past two weeks, the aggression launched more than 11 raids, including 6 raids on the Al-Hashadi farm in Bajil district and 5 raids on the Al-Salif district, with the continuous flying of drones over the province.

On a daily basis, Saudi-led aggression violates the UN-backed agreement, reached between the warring sides during a round of UN-sponsored peace negotiations in Sweden in December 2018, claiming the lives of thousands of civilians, most of them children and women.

The continuous violations by the forces of aggression in Hodeidah come in light of an international silence identifying the  aggression and its crimes against the Yemeni people.

Since it waged its aggression on Yemen, the US-Saudi aerial aggression has dropped thousands of cluster bombs on various Yemeni governorates, killing and wounding thousands. Children are often the victims of bombs and cluster munitions.
