US drone strikes in Yemen resulted in 153 civilian deaths in 2025

A Pentagon review has revealed that U.S. military strikes against Yemen’s Houthis resulted in 153 civilian deaths and 243 injuries in 2025, all from three attacks in April. The deadliest strike targeted the Ras Isa fuel port, killing 80 civilians. The report indicates that these strikes likely caused civilian harm, contradicting U.S. military claims that they aimed to avoid such casualties. The review is part of an annual assessment submitted to Congress, with further investigations into additional incidents ongoing.
