Pentagon confirms civilian deaths in Yemen airstrikes
The Washington Post revealed that the U.S. Department of Defense has acknowledged the deaths of over 150 civilians and injuries to approximately 250 others during airstrikes in Yemen in 2025. These strikes were part of a broad operation against the Houthis that began in March under orders from President Trump, aimed at stopping Houthi attacks on American ships in the Red Sea. The report indicates that this is the first investigation of its kind to admit U.S. forces' responsibility for civilian harm. It focused on more than a thousand targets in Yemen, identifying three key incidents where civilian casualties are believed to have occurred, while 15 cases are still under review. These operations are part of a wide military escalation involving hundreds of Airstrikes targeting Houthi sites, which have resulted in the killing of Houthi leaders and reports of significant human and material losses.
