153 civilians were killed by US military strikes in 2025A US official reported on Tuesday (11 August), citing a Pentagon assessment, that US military attacks in 2025 killed 153 innocent civilians and injured 243, a significant increase from 2024. These casualties stemmed from three airstrikes in Yemen in April 2025, aimed at Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The US Central Command is evaluating 15 further incidents in Yemen. Separately, US military strikes since September 2025, under President Trump, killed over 200 people targeting drug ships in the Eastern Pacific, leading Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International to accuse them of "unlawful killings."
