UK @DefenceHQ has released to Ceasefire and @airwars a summary of an independent review of its civilian harm framework.

It confirms our longstanding concerns: no unified CHMR policy, no civilian harm tracking, no formalised investigation procedures and no operational amends mechanisms – leaving serious gaps in how harm is mitigated and addressed.

“The Trump administration’s approach to its air strikes in Yemen from March to May 2025 should have set off alarm bells in the USA and around the world, clearly signalling an urgent need to strengthen measures to protect civilians.”

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

This month we took a look at the significant underreporting of US counter terrorism strikes in Yemen.

YDP's list of 21 US drone strikes since Trump returned to office is 4x higher than the number recorded by other international organisations. America's forever war continues.

In Yemen, 31 journalists and media workers were killed in a single Israeli strike on 10 September 2025 that deliberately targeted media outlets in Sana'a. The bombing was the worst strike against journalists ever recorded in the region and the second worst on record globally.

More journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than in any other year since CPJ began collecting data more than three decades ago. At least 129 journalists and media workers were killed, two-thirds of them by Israel.

[Basha باشا @BashaReport]

#FactCheck
Reports claiming that Saudi or UAE forces conducted airstrikes on Al-‘Abr are false. Two military sources on the ground told @BashaReport that no air operations took place, with one source adding that an IED struck a military vehicle in the area.

Israel outdoes Saudi Arabia
