August 2021 Kabul drone strike

On 29 August 2021, an unmanned drone attack by the United States killed 10 civilians in Kabul, Afghanistan, including 7 children. The U.S. initially said that the vehicle targeted in the strike had visited an Islamic State safe house and that there had been a number of secondary explosions, implying there had been explosives at the scene. Eyewitnesses and later independent investigations disproved this statement. Three weeks later the U.S. confirmed that the target of the strike was a Toyota Corolla carrying aid workers and that only civilians had been killed in the strike. No U.S. personnel faced disciplinary action for the attack, which prompted a group of 50 U.S. legislators to call for a review of military practices.
