Houthi Education Ministry Accuses Saudi-Led Coalition of Targeting Schools in Taiz
The Houthi-affiliated education ministry has publicly accused Saudi Arabia and its allied forces of striking educational facilities in Yemen's Taiz governorate. The group condemned the alleged actions as violations of international law.
The Houthi-controlled education ministry in Yemen has issued a formal accusation against Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners, alleging that they have deliberately targeted schools in the Taiz governorate. This report, which originated from the Houthi-affiliated Almasirah media agency, characterizes the strikes as a direct violation of international humanitarian law.
While the Houthi ministry has labeled the alleged attacks as a "criminal act," the report provides limited details regarding the specific timing of the strikes or the extent of the damage caused to the educational infrastructure. The accusation follows a long-standing pattern of conflict in the Taiz region, which has been a major flashpoint throughout the years-long war in Yemen.
Because this report relies exclusively on information provided by Houthi-affiliated media, there is currently no independent verification of the claims. Saudi Arabian officials and the coalition forces have not yet issued a public response to these specific allegations. The lack of commentary from the coalition side leaves the details of the incident unconfirmed, as the report does not include statements from international observers or independent humanitarian organizations on the ground in Taiz to corroborate the Houthi ministry's claims.
