No US troops or officials would face disciplinary action for a wrong drone strike in Kabul, the Pentagon, head quarter of the US Department of Defense has stated in a statement.

This wrong drone strike killed 10 innocent Afghan civilians including seven children earlier in August.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had received a high-level review of the strike which did not recommend any accountability.

“He approved their recommendations,” Kirby said. “The secretary is not calling for additional accountability measures.”

The August 29 drone strike took place in the final days of the US-led evacuation of Kabul.

US officials had said they had intelligence of a possible Islamic State attack on the evacuation operations at Kabul airport.

However, last month in November, an initial report of the US Air Force inspector general, Lieutenant General Sami Said, called the strike tragic “an honest mistake.”
