27 August: The United States launched an airstrike against what US military said was a vehicle carrying three ISIL-KP members in Nangarhar Province. Two were killed, who were described by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby as "high-profile ISIS targets" and "planners and facilitators"; the third occupant of the vehicle was injured.[48] The airstrike was carried out a day after an attack at Kabul Airport, which had resulted in the death of more than 180 people.[49] One of those killed was identified by CENTCOM on 23 September as Kabir Aidi, an alleged ISIL-K facilitator. The other was identified as a collaborator with the group, though his identity could not be confirmed.[50] 29 August: A U.S. airstrike targeted a vehicle in Kabul a few kilometres from the airport, which U.S. officials claimed was carrying ISIL-KP bombers but was actually driven by an aid worker, who worked for the U.S.-based Nutrition and Education International.[51][52] The aid worker had loaded containers of water into his trunk for his family and his neighbors, which a New York Times investigation suggested had been mistakenly identified by the U.S. military as explosives, prompting the fatal airstrike.[51] Water deliveries had stopped in his neighborhood following the collapse of the government.[51] US officials initially claimed the vehicle had visited an alleged ISIS safe house and that secondary explosions had occurred after the airstrike, but no evidence of a secondary explosion was found at the site, and the location that the drone had tracked the driver to, where he and three others had loaded water into his trunk, was the office of Nutrition and Education International, and not an ISIS-K safe house as the U.S. had alleged.[51] A total of ten family members were killed in the airstrike at their home, including seven children and the driver.[5][53] Some of those killed had previously worked for international NGOs and held visas allowing them entry to the United States.[54][55] The United States military later acknowledged that the aid worker and the vehicle he was driving posed no threat, and there was no connection between him and ISIL-KP.[52] The US government pledged to financially compensate the families of the deceased.[56]
