US troops apologized for the deaths of 10 civilians, including children, after admitting that the airstrikes they had carried out last month in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to remove the threat of attacks by militant groups.
On the 29th of last month, US troops bombed a vehicle with an unmanned aircraft in a residential area in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, to remove the threat of an attack by a regional organization of extremist organization IS = Islamic State.
Commander Mackenzie of the United States Central Command held a press conference on the 17th, and after investigating the situation of the airstrike, revealed that 10 civilians including 7 children had died, and said, "The airstrike is tragic. It was a mistake, "he admitted that it was an accidental explosion and apologized.
In a statement, Secretary of Defense Austin said the man driving the vehicle was "not connected to the IS regional organization and not to the imminent threat we believed we were facing."
He then instructed him to consider the need to change his authority and procedures for conducting air strikes.
Regarding this airstrike, several US media reported that it may have been an accidental bombing due to the situation of the explosion, and the US military continued to investigate.
The Biden administration said that even after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, it would be possible to deal with the threat of terrorism through remote attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles, but several experts pointed out that the ability to collect information was also reduced.
