Watch: Video of botched US drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Kabul

The Pentagon has publicly released video footage of a US drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians in the final hours of a chaotic American withdrawal that ended a 20-year war in Afghanistan.

The New York Times obtained the footage through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against US Central Command, which then posted the imagery to its website. It marks the first public release of video footage of the August 29 strike, which the Pentagon initially defended but later called a tragic mistake.

The videos include about 25 minutes of footage from two MQ-9 Reaper drones. They show the scene of the strike prior to, during and after a missile struck a civilian car.

US had claimed that it targeted an Islamic State suicide bomber on way to Kabul airport, but the strike left 10 civilians, including children, dead.

The Central Command later said it determined that the man driving the car had nothing to do with the IS group.
