- As part of the 53-day Operation Rough Rider, the United States carried out three strikes in Yemen in April 2025, a campaign launched by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to stop Iran-backed Houthi attacks on shipping and U.S. allies.
- The Pentagon had previously said the strikes in Yemen killed or injured no civilians, while human rights groups reported large-scale civilian casualties and called for investigations into potential war crimes.
- Documents obtained by NBC show Democratic lawmakers sought answers, and U.S. Central Command concluded after reviewing dozens of strikes, including the three in April, that civilian casualties were more likely than not.
- The Pentagon told NBC it had no announcements at present and would submit an annual report on casualties for 2025 in the coming months.
The Trump administration's response has been abysmal. This administration has gutted the Pentagon's programs meant to prevent civilian harm and has evaded any public accounting for cases of civilian harm.— Amanda Kalsing, Amnesty International, national director for government relations
