00:00The Pentagon has acknowledged that U.S. military operations killed more than 150 civilians and injured more than 240 others
00:08in 2025.
00:10A report submitted to Congress says all of the recorded civilian casualties came from three U.S. strikes in Yemen.
00:19The U.S. military says those operations were aimed at degrading the capabilities of Iran-backed Houthi militants.
00:26The figures come as the Pentagon carries out a much broader military operation against Iran this year.
00:33But the latest tally does not include people killed in U.S. strikes on suspected drug-trafficking boats in the
00:40Caribbean and Pacific.
00:42Those operations killed about 120 people last year and another 95 this year.
00:47The Trump administration says the strikes targeted drug traffickers from cartels it has designated as terrorist groups.
00:54But the legality of those operations has been questioned.
