The Spokesman for the JIAT in Yemen referred to case No. 77, which deals with the interim (second) report on the work of the Yemeni National Commission investigating into allegations of human rights violations for the period from September 2016 to June 2017, reportedly that on Sunday, 14 February 2016, two explosions were heard, targeting Qusla castle building, with a difference of less than two minutes. The shelling reportedly destroyed large parts of the building and damaged four neighboring houses. Witnesses also said that citizens are no longer visiting the castle since the beginning of the war because it has become a residence of elements of the Houthi militias and Saleh troops and that no civilian was hurt or killed in the bombing. Al-Mansour explained that the incident assessment team verified the incident and after reviewing all documents, including procedures and rules of engagement, the schedule of daily air tasks, post-mission reports, satellite imagery and evidence assessment, it was proved that the Coalition Forces have collected reliable intelligence information that a number of prominent commanders of the armed Houthi militias, were present in two buildings in the Directorate of (Shibam Kokban), province of (Al-Mahweet). Accordingly, the coalition forces, launched an air strike at 03:50 hours on Sunday (14/02/2016) on the two military targets being used as military barracks for housing and accommodating the armed elements of the Houthi militias as well as those pro-Saleh, the former Yemeni president. The first building Qusla castle, is not recognized by UNESCO as an heritage site while the second one is located 128 meters away, stripping them from the legal international protection as they were actually used for military purposes. In the light of this, the JIAT had established the proper procedures for the Coalition Forces to target the two buildings, consistent with international humanitarian law and customary rules. Case 78 deals with what came in the interim (second) report on the work of the Yemeni National Commission investigating allegations of human rights violations for the period from September 2016 to June 2017, reportedly that in the morning of Tuesday, 09 February 2016, a house, located in Al-Mansoura district, was hit by an air to ground missile, resulting in the collapse of the house, killing four, and injuring a child belonging to the family of Ruwais Al-Ghazali. Moreover, witnesses and relatives of the victims reported that they saw flying objects and suddenly saw a strong lighting and an explosion about 3:30 am. They went to the place of the explosion to find that it has flattened the house of Al-Ghazali. For its part, the inspection team commissioned by the Committee confirmed that, after having tested the fragments found at the house, it was found that the explosion was caused by an air-to-ground missile launched by coalition aircraft. The Commission also verified that the targeted site was the home of a civilian located in a residential neighborhood where there are no military targets. Al-Mansour explained that the joint incident assessment team verified the incident, covering one day before and one after, and after reviewing all documents, including the procedures and rules of engagement, the schedule of daily tasks, post-mission reports, satellite images and the evidence assessment, it was proved that on (09/02/2016), the Joint Team has never carried out any air strike on the city of Aden. --More 01:34 LOCAL TIME 22:34 GMT 0036 www.spa.gov.sa/w724618
