US air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen last year killed 153 civilians and injured 243 others, US news outlet The Hill reports, citing Pentagon documents.
The Pentagon informed Congress in a 12-page report that the casualties resulted from three specific incidents during operations in April 2025.
These included an air strike on April 6 in Sanaa that killed five civilians, an attack on April 17 at the Ras Isa port that killed 80, and a third strike near Saada on April 28 that killed 47, according to the report.
The Pentagon added that 15 additional incidents related to the military campaign remained under review, it said.
