Human Rights Watch says reliable evidence shows that Saudi Arabia has used banned cluster amunitions provided by the United States in its deadly airstrikes against Yemen.
The rights organization said in a Sunday report that photographs, video, and other evidence have surfaced since mid-April 2015 indicating that cluster munitions have been used in attacks on Yemen’s northern province of Sa’ada in recent weeks.
The HRW subsequently carried out an extensive analysis of satellite imagery that the weapons appeared to land on a cultivated plateau, within 600 meters (fewer than one mile) of several dozen buildings in four to six village clusters.
A video appeared on YouTube on April 17 showing numerous objects with parachutes slowly coming from the sky. The footage zooms out to show an explosion in mid air and several black smoke clouds from other blasts.
