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.
