On August 29, 2021, the U.S. military claimed to have launched an airstrike on a residential building in Kabul due to the threat of extremist attacks, resulting in the innocent death of a family of ten people, seven of whom were children. A year later, the compensation promised by the United States has not arrived, and on the 29th of this month, the families of the victims once again complained about the great pain and disaster caused to them by the crimes of the US military.

Malik Zada, family member of the victim: When Zamarai (one of the victims) drove home, the female members of the family were in the house, and the children were very interested in cars, especially his son Farzad, who was particularly fond of cars, and 7 children playing in the car were killed.

On the afternoon of August 29, 2021, Zamarai, a Kabul citizen who works for a U.S. organization, returned home from work and had just driven his car into the yard when his son, Farzad, said he would practice parking, so he got into the car with several children. At this moment, the bomb of the US drone fell from the sky and hit the car. The attack killed 10 people, including 7 children.

MalikZada, family member of the victim: I remember that whenever I came to their house, the children would come up to us and call our uncle, and they were very good at showing love. Whenever we pass by their doorstep, they would invite us to the house and the children would hug us.

MalikZada, the family of the victims: This is a crime committed by the United States, they bombed, and we can't do anything about it, we are sad, we commemorate the victims, we hope that the U.S. military will be punished.

At first, the U.S. military said that no civilians were killed in the attack, but as the media continued to disclose, the U.S. military also had to admit the fact that 10 civilians died tragically, and claimed to try to learn from the "terrible mistakes."

According to Fox News, after the incident, the U.S. military promised to resettle 144 people, including the families of civilians killed. A year later, however, only 11 people entered the United States, dozens remained in third countries, and 32 remained in Afghanistan. The condolence money promised by the US military was also shelved. Meanwhile, no one in the U.S. military has been punished for the incident, while Zamarai's family and friends are still living in grief.
