On 24 July 2015, between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m., the city of Mokha, Yemen, was bombed by the Saudi Arabian led coalition.[3] The airstrikes struck two worker housing complexes for engineers and technicians at the Mokha steam power plant.[3][4] The attack left between 65[1] and 120[2] dead, including at least 10 children.[1]
According to the workers and residents of the compound, at least one aircraft dropped nine bombs in separate sorties in intervals of a few minutes.[3] The United Nations said that at least 36 buildings – including schools, hospitals, court houses, communications institutions, and power generation facilities – were damaged or destroyed.[4]
Mokha, a city on the coast of the Red Sea, was previously considered to be one of the safest cities during the war in Yemen.[5] The attack was one of the deadliest attacks by Saudi Arabia against Yemen.[6] The attack was condemned by Human Rights Watch, who investigated the scene the day after the attack, saying that the airstrike was unlawful because there was "no evident military target."[7] Yemeni officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said that the distance between the attacked buildings and the closest Houthi outpost was about three miles. A military official stated that "incorrect coordinates" were given to the Saudi Arabia-led coalition.[5]
