Laravel Mime Type Validation (KML file)

I have an file upload on my form with a validation rule to check that it's a kml file:

return [
        'file' => 'required|mimes:kml',
        ...
    ];

However, when I upload a .kml file I get an 'The file must be a file of type: kml.' error.

Other than the file extension where else is the mime type being defined?
