The report noted that the violations included six cases of killing, among them a child and a woman, as well as 21 injury cases affecting eight children and two women, resulting from direct shelling and landmines planted by the Houthis. It added that several of the injured sustained severe wounds leading to limb amputations, causing permanent disabilities.

The report also documented nine abduction cases and one assault carried out by the Houthis during the same period, as part of what it described as the continued targeting of civilians.

According to the report, violations against private property reached 43 cases during the documented period, including partial damage to 28 homes and the complete destruction of five houses, in addition to damage to six vehicles as a result of Houthi shelling.
