Khaama: The U.S. government promised to compensate surviving families after a drone strike that resulted in the deaths of 10 members of an Afghan family, including seven children, led to a rare Pentagon apology. The incident, which occurred on August 29, 2021, was targeted at Zemari Ahmadi, an electrical engineer who worked for a voluntary organization with headquarters in the U.S. Ahmadi was hit by a Hellfire missile launched from an American drone as he was driving his white Toyota Corolla home from work, the Intercept reported.
