The Amiriyah Shelter, also known as Public Shelter No. 25, was a civilian air-raid shelter located in the Amiriyah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq. On February 13, 1991, during the Gulf War, the shelter was struck by two GBU-27 Paveway III laser-guided bombs dropped by the U.S. Air Force, resulting in the deaths of at least 408 civilians.
The attack has been characterized by Human Rights Watch as a war crime. The shelter was originally designed to protect Baghdad's residents during aerial bombardments, reflecting the city's wartime infrastructure. Today, the site stands as a memorial to the victims and a reminder of the tragic events of the Gulf War.
