On Monday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said the U.S. was investigating the claims of civilian deaths resulting from recent air strikes.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Pentagon, the strikes were a defensive move believed to target potential threats to U.S. troops in order to prevent another attack. The U.S. Central Command released a statement saying, \u201cwe are aware of reports of civilian casualties,\u201d but added they would still investigate the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not in a position to dispute it right now, Idrees, and as the general said, we\u2019re assessing and we\u2019re investigating,\u201d Kirby explained. \u201cLook, 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. We take it very, very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">UPDATE: U.S. Central Command statement on defensive strike in Kabul<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3z059Ih00U\">https:\/\/t.co\/3z059Ih00U<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1432134026689667080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is just the latest scandal to ravage the Biden administration as the U.S. works to end the war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/illegal-immigrant-who-murdered-mollie-tibbetts-sentenced-to-life\/\">Illegal Immigrant Who Murdered Mollie Tibbetts Sentenced To Life<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pentagon spokesman John Kirby listens to a question during a briefing at the Pentagon in Washington.
