According to a report by Brazil's 247 News Network on August 12, the Pentagon faced charges of underestimating and concealing the number of civilian casualties caused by US military operations after releasing its 2025 casualty estimates report. The document admits 153 civilians were killed and 243 were injured. These figures fall far short of data provided by independent organizations tracking US military operations. The report pointed out that the main controversy surrounding the report involved not only differences between official figures and independent investigations, but also the failure to count civilian casualties caused by US military actions against suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. According to the Pentagon's assessment, all civilian casualties in 2025 occurred during the US bombing of the Houthis in Yemen. In addition to official casualty data, 15 other possible victims are still under review by US military authorities. However, according to data provided by independent organizations, the scale of human losses in Yemen is even greater. According to reports, the Air War Tracking Organization estimates that at least 258 civilians were killed during the US military operation against Yemen.
