Pentagon Disciplines 16 Service Members for Deadly Airstrike on Hospital in Afghanistan

More than a dozen service members are being punished for deadly airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in northern Afghanistan last fall.

FOX’s Jon Decker reports from the White House:

The Pentagon has disciplined 16 service members, including a two-star General for mistakes that led to the deadly airstrike on a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan, but no one will face criminal charges.

Of those receiving punishments from the Defense Department, one officer was suspended from command and ordered out of Afghanistan. The others were given lesser punishments.

The fall-out comes after a six-month Pentagon investigation of the attack, which killed 42 medical workers and patients. Doctors Without Borders has described the attack as a war crime.
