Aden — Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms has released a comprehensive report documenting 1,232 cases of deliberate explosions carried out by Houthi militias against homes, religious sites, schools, and public infrastructure across 17 provinces in Yemen. 

The violations span from September 2014 to March 1, 2025, and are described as part of a systematic campaign of terror and forced displacement.

According to the report, the attacks included:

- 987 residential homes

- 76 mosques and Quranic centers

- 39 schools and educational facilities

- 37 commercial centers and shops

- 63 farms and water wells

- 18 political party headquarters

- 29 government buildings

- 9 health facilities

- 4 archaeological sites

- 156 bridges and public roads

Geographic Scope of Violations 

Province of Taiz topped the list with 181 incidents, followed by Al-Bayda (132), Ibb (120), and Sana’a and the capital district (74). Other affected areas include Marib, Hodeidah, Saada, Hajjah, Dhamar, and Rima, among others.

Legal and Humanitarian Implications 

The network condemned these acts as blatant violations of international humanitarian law, describing the explosions as tools of intimidation and demographic engineering. The report asserts that the Houthis use home demolitions as a form of collective punishment and ideological enforcement, aiming to subjugate communities to their Iran-backed agenda.

Call to Action 

The organization urged the United Nations, its Special Envoy to Yemen, and international human rights bodies to issue clear condemnations and take urgent steps to protect civilians and vital infrastructure. It also called for independent investigations to hold perpetrators accountable and prevent further escalation.
