According to Mwatana for Human Rights: "Despite the statements issued by the Spokesman of the Arab Allied Forces –Brigadier General Ahmed Aseeri- that all precautionary measures were taken to avoid civilian casualties and to ensure the safety and security of all Yemenis, a sizable number of the coalition’ aerial attacks did target civilian areas and resulted in killing and injury of civilian, damage of homes, civil institutions and infrastructures. These violations may tantamount to war crimes in accordance with the International Humanitarian Law. [...] What used to be a water bottling plant became just rubble and burned-out ground soaked with the blood of many victims in Abs District (90 kilometers north-west of Hajja city). As 14 civilians, including two children died, and two civilians were wounded when the coalition warplanes bombed Al-Sham water bottling factory in Bani Labinah Village in Abs District on 29 August 2015. Ali Shaabain Libanah, 40 years old, a worker whose son and two nephews were killed in the incident said that he was asleep in his house before the sound of a plane flying over the area woke him up right before the bombing of the factory. Libanah added: “at about 3:20 a.m., I woke up when I heard the sound of the plane flying above us in a very annoying mode. We did not expect that this disaster will occur. At approximately 3:30 a.m., I heard a big explosion and I saw flames coming out of the factory. I said to myself, my son died. I ran to the factory and found him burning, I was afraid to enter there because the plane was still flying and I thought that it might strike again. When we entered to the factory, we saw the dead and the wounded and those who their bodies were torn, we rescued the wounded, and as for the rest they were finished.” Another witness, Mohamed Hassan Siddiq (34 years old) a teacher, said: “We were scared and frightened when we heard the sound of the plane, and the sound was getting closer and closer until we heard the sound of the strike, and it was a very strong sound. I got out of my house running quickly and I saw that the strike was on the plant and saw it burning completely. I saw with my own eyes the bodies burning, and I saw bodies that were torn. We tried to save the plant manager, I and one of his relatives rescued him but he did not survive. The rest of the workers were on the ground and scattered, we could not go into the factory fearing the planes may strike again.” Eyewitnesses interviewed by Mwatana said that the nearest military site to the water factory is located three kilometers away and next to the camp there are checkpoints manned by militants." ^[+]
