US military operations in 2025 killed 153 civilians and wounded 243, a US official said, citing Pentagon assessments, according to Reuters.

This compares with a Pentagon assessment that two civilians were killed and two were injured by US military operations in 2024.

The report said that all the death and injury tolls against civilians recorded in 2025 were due to three US strikes in Yemen.
