Errant Kabul drone strike was 'deadly blunder,' US military misled public about children killed: report

Fox News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot provides details on the August 2021 U.S. drone strike that mistakenly killed 10 civilians. A New York Times report on the investigation into how the U.S. military conducted a drone strike that killed several civilians, including children, in Afghanistan last year, characterized the attack as a "deadly blunder" that was motivated by the "assumptions and biases" of those conducting the strike. The report also claimed that the U.S. military was aware that innocent children had been killed in the attack only hours after the strike, and it made "misleading" statements to the public about that reality. The Times report noted that through a FOIA request, it obtained internal documents from a U.S. Central Command investigation into the August 2021 U.S. drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Kabul, Afghanistan.
