Dataset Description:
The dataset collects data detailing air raids conducted in Yemen, primarily focusing on the Saudi-led coalition's operations from March 2015 to April 2022. It lists the date of incident, geographical location, type of target, target category and sub-category, and, where known, time of day. Each incident indicates a stated number of air raids, which in turn may comprise multiple air strikes. It is not possible to generate an average number of air strikes per air raid as these vary greatly, from a couple of airstrikes up to several dozen per air-raid. YDP’s dataset records the unverified numbers of individual air strikes that constitute a recorded single air raid. Each entry in the dataset includes specifics such as the date of the incident, geographical location (down to the district level), target type, target category and sub-category, and, where available, the time of day. This granularity allows for in-depth analysis of air raid patterns and their impacts. The dataset has a size of 17,0 kB and comprises 25,054 recorded air raids conducted by the Saudi-UAE-led coalition. It is structured with each record representing a single air raid incident. Key fields include:
-
Date of Incident: Specifies the exact date the air raid occurred.
-
Geographical Location: Details the governorate and district where the air raid took place.
-
Target Type: Describes the nature of the target, such as military sites, residential areas, or infrastructure facilities.
-
Target Category and Sub-category: Provides further classification of the target, offering more granular insight into the specific nature of the targeted site.
-
Time of Day: Indicates the time at which the air raid occurred, where such information is available.
