U.S. Central Command released videos of civilian deaths from airstrikes in Kabul

The video is reportedly about 25 minutes long and contains both color and black and white parts. Clearer color videos show children and a white vehicle, as well as people trying to control the fire with water after an airstrike. In the black-and-white video, Zamari Ahmadi, an Afghan civilian mistaken for a terrorist by the U.S. military, can be seen driving a white vehicle into a courtyard surrounded by other civilians. The US Central Command admitted in a statement on the 19th that these videos recorded the pictures before and after the kabul air strike.

The Pentagon said last September that the airstrike was a "tragic mistake." However, the Pentagon said in December that it would not punish any military personnel involved. (CCTV reporter Xu Tao)
