US strikes in Yemen killed 153 civilians in 2025, says Pentagon review

The unclassified Pentagon review sheds new light on civilian harm from the US campaign against Yemen’s Houthis. United States military strikes targeting Yemen’s Houthis killed 153 civilians last year and wounded another 243, according to a Pentagon assessment of the attacks. The numbers were disclosed by a US official on Tuesday, citing the review, which found that all of the civilian deaths and injuries recorded by the US military in 2025 came from three strikes in Yemen in April. The unclassified assessment was sent to the US Congress as part of the Pentagon’s annual report on civilian casualties. It was obtained by the Associated Press after NBC News reported it earlier.
