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.
This question was answered on 4th June 2025
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.
