At least 25 civilians, including four children, have been killed in a week of US bombing in Yemen, the Yemen Data Project has found.

At least 28 more civilians were also injured in the 38 air strikes conducted “in the heaviest and deadliest week of bombing since the last months of Saudi-UAE air war in January 2022,” according to the independent data collection project.

More people were killed in the first week of the new US military campaign than in 12 months of US-UK strikes from January 2024 to January this year, the group said.
