Yemen: Military Intervention Asked by: Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they made of potential risks to civilians in advance of airstrikes in Yemen on 29 April. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) Ahead of the UK strikes in Yemen on 29 April, the utmost care was taken during planning to minimise any risk to civilians or non-military infrastructure. This included conducting the strikes in the hours of darkness, as this was a feasible precaution available during this particular mission to further mitigate any such risks.
Yemen: Military Intervention Asked by: Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 4th June 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the British airstrikes conducted in Yemen on 29 April were in support of Operation Poseidon Archer or Operation Rough Rider. Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) We do not comment on other nations’ military operations but can confirm that the UK airstrike on 29 April 2025 was conducted against a Houthi military target in Yemen.

Yemen: Armed Conflict Asked by: Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 5th June 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment has been made of civilian casualties from US and UK military action in Yemen (1) since March and (2) between January 2024 and January 2025. Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) In planning its operations, the Ministry of Defence takes the greatest possible care to minimise the risk of civilian casualties. Every mission carried out by Royal Air Force aircraft is assessed carefully, including for any evidence that civilian casualties resulting from British military action have been caused. All instances must be confirmed to Parliament. On 29 April, UK forces participated in a joint operation with US forces against a Houthi military target in Yemen which careful intelligence analysis had identified was being used to manufacture long-range attack drones. This was the first UK strike on the Houthis since 30 May 2024, and was again conducted in self-defence and in line with the UK's longstanding policy. We do not comment on other nations' military operations.
