The attack is the first retaliatory attack after the terrorist attack in the middle of the crowd at the airport in Kabul on Thursday. It took place in Nangarhar province.
Earlier, the Pentagon reported that a man involved in planning attacks on US forces had been killed. At a press conference on Saturday, Pentagon spokesman Hank Taylor said that two “high-profile” IS members had been killed.
The American sources say that no civilians lost their lives in the action.
More than 180 people lost their lives in the terrorist attack in the crowd outside the airport on Thursday, including 13 American soldiers. In a televised speech from the White House, President Joe Biden promised to find and prosecute those behind the suicide attack.
