The US military has disciplined more than a dozen service members after an air strike on a Medicines Sans Frontier’s (MSF) hospital in Afghanistan killed 42 people last year.
The Pentagon has acknowledged that the clinic was targeted by mistake, but no personnel will face criminal charges.The Associated Press reported that the sanctions, which were not made public, were mostly administrative.
Some received formal reprimands while others were suspended from duty.Although officers and enlisted personnel were disciplined, no generals were punished.
A spokeswoman for MSF said the medical charity would not comment until the Pentagon made the details public.
