Pentagon reports 153 civilian deaths from 2025 Yemen airstrikes against Houthis

A Pentagon civilian‑casualties review released to Congress says three US airstrikes in April 2025 against Houthi targets in Yemen killed 153 civilians and injured 243. Strikes near Sana'a and the Ras Isa port were intended to counter Houthi fuel revenue and disruption of Red Sea shipping. The assessment concluded civilian harm was more likely than not, and the Pentagon said condolence payments were not appropriate in these cases. The report adds to ongoing scrutiny of civilian casualties in US operations amid tensions over the Red Sea and Iran’s proxies.

US Strikes on Iran's Nuclear Sites Fall Short, Raising Questions

China's New Submarines Pose Threat to US and Russia's Missile Capabilities

China has launched its first nuclear-powered guided missile submarines, according to a Pentagon report, marking the country's entry into a domain previously dominated by the US and Russia. The submarines, known as Type 093B guided missile submarines, will give China the ability to conduct long-range precision strikes against land targets, significantly enhancing its power projection capability. The report suggests that three of these submarines could be operational by next year, as part of China's wider expansion of its submarine fleet, which could number 65 vessels by 2025. The development of these submarines is seen as an important new capability for the Chinese navy, allowing them to carry out saturated land and anti-ship attacks at standoff range.

"Leaked Documents Reveal Russian Involvement in Ukraine Conflict"

Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vučić, denied allegations that his country had agreed to supply arms to Ukraine, after a leaked Pentagon report claimed that Belgrade had agreed to provide arms to Kyiv. Serbia's defence minister, Milos Vucevic, also rejected the allegations and said his country "has not and will not sell weapons to either Ukraine or Russia". Serbia, a traditional Russian ally, has not joined western sanctions against Moscow but has backed several UN resolutions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
