U.S soldiers had been injured around three U.S soldiers
being injured. The vast majority of those victims to be ordinary afghans the
case has been often the case throughout this horrendous conflict of course and
secundum. Intelligence reports were warning of an imminent attack and
information despite it being it simply didn't cut through in terms of the
numbers of desperate people there at the airport were still coming who are
still staying thousands in such a state of confusion such a state of
desperation. At the airport there would have been large crowds there still was a
large crowd at the time of this explosion in Kabul. At Kabul airport, there are
other border crossings that are flooding with people. U.S military airlift out
of Afghanistan until the very end the department of defense has the continued
responsibility to support the state department in the ongoing movement of evacuees
through intermediate staging bases.
The Pentagon about whether flights are continuing or have
been paused official at the moment about whether flights are being paused or
are continuing to know that the flights are taking off or have been taking off
obviously from a secure place inside the
airport. The military has always made the point that it was securing that area
and the Taliban were securing was
happening outside.
