November 6: A Bloody Chapter in the Archive of U.S.-Saudi-UAE Aggression Crimes Against the Yemeni People
The sixth of November remains etched in the collective memory of Yemenis as a dark and bloody day in the record of the U.S.-Saudi-Emirati aggression—a day on which new chapters of atrocities continue to unfold.
On this date, year after year, the aggression’s airstrikes and bombardments have targeted markets, homes, farms, and roads, turning towns and villages across Yemen into grim scenes of blood and destruction. Since the beginning of the war in March 2015, November 6 has never passed without witnessing yet another tragedy—from Saada in the north to Hudaydah in the west and Ma’rib in the east.
2015: Markets and Civilian Homes Targeted
On November 6, 2015, the aggression’s warplanes bombed a public market and a citizen’s home in Yasnim, Baqim District, Saada, wounding two women. Another man was injured when three airstrikes targeted the entrance of Hiran District in Hajjah.

Areas in Burkan and Al-Qad were hit by dozens of bombs. In Hudaydah, four civilians were martyred and others injured amid frenzied shelling around 7 July area, the Al-Eissi residential complex, and Red Sea Mills.
2019: Brutal Escalation on Ad-Durayhimi and At-Tuhayat
On November 6, 2019, mercenaries of the aggression launched over 80 Katyusha rockets and shells on Ad-Durayhimi City, while shelling Faza and Jabaliyah (At-Tuhayat) with heavy and medium weapons—causing massive damage to civilian homes. Coalition aircraft carried out four airstrikes on Haradh District (Hajjah).

2022: Ongoing Aggression through Spy Drones
By November 6, 2022, enemy reconnaissance aircraft continued their raids on Hays and Al-Jabaliyah (At-Tuhayat, Hudaydah), while mercenary forces built new fortifications and shelled residential neighborhoods with artillery and small arms—a blatant violation of the truce and ceasefire agreements.
New Pages of Steadfastness
For more than eight years, Yemen has written new chapters of steadfastness every November 6—standing firm before the U.S.-Saudi-UAE war machine that spared no home, market, or farm.
Yet despite the immense suffering, the Yemeni people remain deeply rooted in their faith, sovereignty, and revolutionary resolve, determined to resist aggression and break the siege—until justice and freedom prevail.
