Awqaf condemns coalition’s bombing of tombs, shrines, domes in occupied provinces

SANAA, Aug. 19 (YPA) – The General Authority for Awqaf condemned the continued targeting of shrines, domes and mosques in the southern occupied governorates by the Saudi-led coalition mercenaries.

The authority denounced, in a statement, Friday, that the mercenaries had detonated the tomb of Abdul Rahman bin Omar Badas and the dome of bin Abdul Samad in Radhum area, south of Shabwa governorate.

It considered the mercenaries’ bombing of the tombs, shrines and domes a crime added to the criminal record of the US-Saudi aggression and its mercenaries.

It pointed out that the UAE-backed forces of the so-called “Al-Amaliqa” destroyed several similar shrines in several areas south of Shabwa governorate during the past few days.

The Awqaf Authority called on international organizations concerned with preserving heritage to play their role in protecting Yemeni heritage and historical monuments, cities and shrines that are subject to obliteration and distortion by the forces of aggression and mercenaries.
