Kodok Incident

The Kodok incident, or Kodok massacre, was a major event in the aftermath of the 4th Sudanese war. 
The massacre took place in 2062 when an Autonomous Lethal Drone began killing civilians in the town of Kodok 48 hours after a ceasefire had been declared. The massacre directly to the deaths of 300-1200 civilians and ended the US negotiated ceasefire leading to another 2 moinths of conflict before a Russia-EU mediator negotiated a final ceasefire ending the conflict. 
The kodok incident was one of several incidents in which the use of lethal AI lead to civilian deaths. The Kodok incident was only the second deadliest incident (the deadliest being the Kutaisi massacre with 1900 deaths). However, the Kodok Incident had a signigicant effect in the international community because it occurred at the same time as a contentious UN resolution trying to limit the use of Lethal AI. 
After the incident the resolution was modified to ban lethal AI outright. 
=== The Incident ===
Details of the Incident are still debated, but most scholars agree that an autonomous tank sold to Democratic Rebel forces by the United States was mishandled and allowed into the town of Kodok along the border. The weapon Autonomous Tank R146 (AT-146) targeted guards at first but faulty software prevented it from distinguishing between civilians and soldiers. The weapon killed many civilians over the course of four hours before running out of ammunition and being destroyed by an airstrike an hour afterward.
=== Historical Controversies ===
Records show that the faulty bot showed previous signs of bugs, which would have merited immediate termination under the agreement between the rebels and the United States. 
The American Government blamed the incident on the rebels for not following instructions while Russian officals argued that the Americans were at fault for building and deploying a dangerous weapon.
