During these investigations, which covered incidents from 2015-2019, it became clear that the SLC were carrying out strikes in civilian areas, including bustling markets, weddings, funerals and prisons, often resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties.

Our fourth report for the #Yemenproject examines a Saudi-led Coalition airstrike which killed 25 people, many of them prisoners, some of them children, in the city of Abs in Yemen on 12 May 2015.
