No disciplinary action for US troops over Kabul drone airstrike, Pentagon says
Strike that killed 10 civilians represented ‘a breakdown in process’, not negligence or misconduct, spokesperson says
No US troops or officials will face disciplinary action for a drone strike in Kabul in August that killed 10 Afghan civilians, including seven children, the Pentagon said on Monday.
Spokesman John Kirby said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had received a high-level review of the strike which made no recommendation of accountability.
