Where are the detailed Pentagon reports like the one on the Kabul bombing for civilian casualties?

The U.S. military kills civilians, announces an investigation, and finds no one responsible. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin pledged to “improve efforts to protect civilians.”

U.S. military leaders held a press conference Friday to describe what happened last summer at the Kabul airport when a suicide bomber detonated during the U.S.-led evacuation of Afghanistan. That day, 13 American service members and more than 150 Afghans were killed.

Equipped with a PowerPoint, a laser pointer, and videos of the attack, officials gave a second-by-second breakdown of events. The level of detail was impressive. Especially so because when it comes to other deaths in conflict — those of civilians harmed by U.S. operations — the U.S. military has offered the opposite: immediate denials of harm and questionable investigations.
