Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of reports that an insecticide factory in Al-Nahda in Sana'a was hit by coalition air strikes in Yemen on 24 February 2024.

The RAF targets on the deliberate mission of 24 February were centred on two locations; Bani and Sanaa. At Sanaa targets consisted of very long-range drones, used by the Houthis for both reconnaissance and attack missions, at a former surface-to-air missile battery site several miles north-east of Sanaa town, and not in the vicinity of Al-Nahda.

Current assessment is that all RAF targets were effectively destroyed with no evidence of civilian casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure.
