The United States military killed 153 civilians and injured 243 others in military operations in 2025, according to a Pentagon assessment submitted to the US Congress.
The figures, cited by a US official on Tuesday, represent a significant increase from 2024, when the Pentagon assessed that two civilians were killed and two others injured in US military operations.
The US military has maintained that its operations in Yemen are aimed at degrading the capabilities of Iran-backed Houthi militants.
However, the Pentagon report did not include casualties from US strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.
The Pentagon’s latest figures highlight a sharp rise in civilian casualties attributed to US military operations in 2025, with Yemen accounting for all the civilian harm formally assessed in the report.
