An August US drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians was not caused by criminal negligence but by a series of errors, including not noticing a child minutes before the strike took place, an investigation by a military inspector general found on Wednesday.

The August 29 strike killed 10 civilians, including seven children, in an incident the military previously called a "tragic mistake."
