The Pentagon named the reasons for the shelling of the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Kunduz

The head of the US armed forces in Afghanistan, John Campbell, called the reasons for the shelling of the hospital "Doctors Without Borders" in the Afghan Kunduz, reports Interfax.

“It was a tragic, avoidable incident caused by human error,” says Campbell.

Recall that on October 3 this year, NATO spokesman Brian Tribus said that the US military attacked the city of Kunduz, where the Taliban movement is located (an organization banned in Russia). The hospital of the international organization "Doctors Without Borders" also came under fire.

At the time of the bombing, there were 105 patients and more than 80 employees in the hospital. As a result of the shelling, 9 people were killed, 37 were injured.

Later, US President Barack Obama apologized to the head of the organization "Doctors Without Borders" Joanne Lew for the incident and promised to conduct a comprehensive and objective investigation. In turn, Joanne Liu said that the International Humanitarian Fact-Finding Commission (IHFFC) should study what happened. “We cannot rely on the investigations of the US military, NATO and Afghan forces,” said the head of MSF.

On September 28, Taliban terrorists took control of Kunduz, something they had not been able to do since 2001. Five days later, the militants were forced out of the city, all this time the Doctors Without Borders hospital was working in an enhanced mode.
