US military says drone strike thwarts fresh airport attack

By magic

August 30, 2021

A US drone strike in the Afghan capital Kabul has prevented another deadly suicide attack at the airport, US military officials say.

The strike targeted a vehicle carrying at least one person associated with the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group, US Central Command said.

The US had warned of possible further attacks as evacuations wind down.

A bomb attack at Kabul airport last Thursday killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops.

A regional affiliate of the Islamic State group, IS-K, said it was behind Thursday’s bombing.

In retaliation, the US carried out a drone strike on eastern Afghanistan last Friday, saying it had killed two “high-profile” IS-K members.
