US-UK STRIKES 2024
On 12 January 2024 the US launched strikes in Yemen against the Houthis in response to Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The UK is the main partner of the US in the coalition bombing campaign with British fighter jets taking part in strikes. Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand were named as additional supporting nations under the banner of Operation Poseidon Archer. YDP established a new database when US-led strikes began. The database includes US-led sea-to-land naval bombardments as well as air raids. The bombing campaign is ongoing.

SAUDI AIRWAR 2015-2022
Saudi Arabia launched a bombing campaign in Yemen on 25 March 2015. Air raids continued until April 2022.

This was the first data collection project by the Yemen Data Project. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates led the military coalition which also included participation by Egypt, Morocco (until 2019), Jordan, Sudan, Kuwait, Qatar (until 2017) and Bahrain. The military coalition was backed by the United States and the United Kingdom, amongst other western nations. No Saudi-led coalition air raids have been recorded since the April 2022 ceasefire.
