Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: )
A confirmed US airstrike took place in Bayda governorate on March 25th 2019, one of two on that day, a US Central Command spokesperson later told New America. According to a later CENTCOM press release, all US strikes in March 2019 targeted AQAP in Bayda governorate.
Multiple sources reported at the time that a drone, which many alleged to be American, had targeted pro-government forces in Hazmiyah district, Bayda, on that date. However this assignation of responsibility was contested, with both UAE and Houthi forces also blamed. Those reports are accounted for in event USYEMTr190.
Since there were no other known locally reported US strikes on March 25th, Airwars has created two separate US-declared events for March 25th – which are this incident, and USYEMTr191.
