Violation types: Unlawful Airstrike [+]
This incident took place in al-Shaymah Education Complex for Girls, Al Hali District, Al Hudaydah Governorate, Yemen [+]
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. [...] The al-Shaymah Education Complex for Girls was struck multiple times by coalition forces on 25 and 27 August, despite its civilian nature.[..] The director told Amnesty International that students had finished exams on 24 August, so that on 25 August when two air strikes hit the school compound the only people present in the school were the guard and his family, neither of whom were injured in these strikes.[...] The school’s director told Amnesty International that three missiles hit the school compound on 27 August, two days after the initial attack."
