Watch.. The Pentagon publishes a video of a strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians
The Pentagon has released a video clip of a drone strike in the Afghan capital, Kabul, last August, which killed 10 civilians, including seven children.
The Pentagon initially claimed that it had killed an ISIS member in Khorasan who was planning to attack US forces during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, but after about three weeks, it admitted the killing of civilians.
The video provides new details about the recent operations conducted in the final days of the Afghanistan war before the US withdrawal.
This section was declassified after a legal dispute led by the American newspaper "New York Times".
Two drones captured black-and-white thermal images of Zamarai Ahmadi, an American aid worker, driving his vehicle home in Kabul on August 29, 2021.
In the video, several civilians are seen before a Hellfire missile hits Ahmadi's vehicle, which becomes like a giant fireball, killing Ahmadi, two other people and seven children.
Nearly three weeks after the raid, the military acknowledged that "the mistake was tragic and claimed the lives of 10 innocent civilians," according to CNN and The Washington Post.
A subsequent Air Force review of the circumstances of the raid concluded "there was no violation of the law, including the law of war."
