The United States killed suicide bombers in Kabul. The explosion also destroyed the house

The explosion sounded in a neighborhood near the airport. Witnesses first said that one of the houses was hit by a rocket. This was subsequently confirmed by both the Taliban and the US Department of Defense. The target of the American attack was a car with suicide bombers.

“The US military has carried out a self-defense air strike from an unmanned vehicle on a vehicle in Kabul, thus preventing the immediate threat of ISIS-K to Hamid Karzai International Airport,” the AP quoted US Army Captain Bill Urban as saying.

A huge explosion hit the neighboring house. The footage showed black smoke rolling from the house. There were screams. According to the local police chief, one child should have died in the house.

“We are sure that we have successfully hit the target. The large secondary explosion of the car was caused by a large amount of explosive material. We are verifying possible civilian casualties, but now we have no news that they are. We remain vigilant against other threats,” Urban added.

The US State Department warned on Sunday night that another terrorist attack on Kabul airport was imminent. According to the ministry, the risk of attack was high. But US President Joe Biden has also warned that the United States will continue to attack representatives of the local branch of the Islamic State (ISIS-K), which claimed responsibility for Thursday’s bombing. At least 169 civilians, mostly Afghans, and 13 US soldiers died at the airport gates.

The US has already killed two men in an attack from an unmanned drone, who, according to the Americans, were behind the planning of the attacks. The Taliban condemned the US counterattack.
