Summary
The Pentagon told Congress this week that the U.S. military's airstrikes against Houthi militants in Yemen last year resulted in 153 civilians killed and another 243 individuals injured in the Middle Eastern nation. Congress mandated in the 2018 annual defense policy bill that the Pentagon submit reports — known in military parlance as "1057 reports" — on civilian casualties during the preceding year. The report from the Pentagon has at least 153, but notes that as of earlier this year, there were 15 other incidents in Yemen the military was assessing in response to reports received through nongovernmental organizations.
