Head of the U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. announced Friday that it is unlikely any ISIS-K members were killed in a Kabul drone strike on Aug. 29, which led to multiple civilian casualties. Milley earlier this month had defended the strike, even as the details were not fully clear. "At this point, we think that the procedures were correctly followed and it was a righteous strike," he said in a press briefing. The book alleges that the phone calls took place prior to the 2020 presidential election on Oct. 30, 2020, and two days after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, on Jan. 8, 2021. President Biden said this week that he still has "great confidence" in Milley, amid the turmoil surrounding his top military advisor.
