According to Amnesty International: “The strikes that Amnesty International has researched were unlawful – in that they deliberately targeted civilian objects or disproportionately harmed civilians and civilian objects in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated from the attack, or failed to distinguish between civilian objects and military objectives. […] On 27 October a missile struck a field approximately 100 meters from the school in a field. On the same day, a Huthi checkpoint leading into the town of Abs approximately one kilometre away was also hit. The school does not appear to have been mistakenly targeted by an attack on the checkpoint given the distance of the checkpoint from the school and the difference in landscape surrounding the school – a rural village – and the checkpoint – a main thoroughfare. Amnesty International observed the strike site near the school, the school, and the surrounding homes in the rural area and saw, consistent with witness statements, that there were no visible military objectives in the area. […] Amnesty International observed that the school suffered minor damage in the strike, including broken windows. Residents said that four civilians, all children, were injured in the attack.” ^[+]
