U.S. military operations killed 153 civilians last year, Pentagon says

The Pentagon informed Congress that U.S. military operations in Yemen killed 153 civilians and injured 243 individuals last year. These casualties occurred during three specific airstrikes in April 2025, part of a campaign authorized by President Trump following Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. This official assessment excludes deaths from airstrikes on boats in the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, focusing specifically on the toll from the Middle Eastern military engagement.
