Pentagon unable to dispute civilian casualties, defends drone strike on 'imminent threat’
Fox News
The Pentagon on Monday did not dispute civilian casualties might have resulted from Sunday’s U.S. strike on ISIS-K suicide bombers, saying the strike was to protect against a “very imminent threat.”
When asked about potential civilian casualties Monday, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the military is "not in a position to dispute it right now," but noted that they are "assessing" and "investigating." "Make no mistake, no military on the face of the earth works harder to avoid civilian casualties than the United States military, and nobody wants to see innocent life taken," Kirby explained. "We take it very, very seriously."More Related News
