WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – The Pentagon stated Monday that U.S. military personnel will not be held responsible for the August drone strike that claimed 10 lives in Kabul. Seven of those killed were children.

A previous investigation by an Air Force inspector general found that execution errors and misinterpreting of information led to the August 29 strike. Communication breakdowns were also a factor. The strike was previously referred to by the military as a “tragic error.”

John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson (NYSE:), stated that top commanders made several recommendations to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin regarding the incident. None of these included accountability for particular personnel.

Kirby advised Austin to accept the suggestions.

He said, “I don’t anticipate there being any issues of personal accountability.”

Kirby acknowledged the serious threat to U.S forces after a bombing at Kabul’s airport killed 13 troops. He said that this context was crucial.

“In this instance, within the context of that particular strike…there was not enough to justify personal accountability.”

Although the Pentagon stated that they are working to relocate and offer condolences to Afghan families who lost their loved ones in the attack, talks continue with an aid group which had one of these victims.
