Multiple ISIS-K suicide bombers were reportedly killed by a U.S. airstrike on Sunday.
According to the AP, the airstrike on Sunday targeted a vehicle carrying “multiple suicide bombers” from Afghanistan’s Islamic State affiliate before they could target the ongoing American military evacuation at Kabul’s international airport, officials said.
In a separate incident Sunday, a blast was heard in Kabul city, days after devastating terror attacks rocked the capital city’s airport, killing over 180 people, including 13 US Service Members.
The two strikes on Sunday initially appeared to be separate incidents, though information on both remains scarce at this point.
ISIS-K claimed responsibly for the attack late last week, which had been fuelled by a rocket, adding that the target was Americans remaining in the city amid evacuations.
The AFP reported that the latest blast heard in Kabul was a rocket and that “initial information shows hit a house,” citing a security official.
Early reports suggest at least two people have been killed and three injured in the attack, according to Afghan news agency Asvaka. Among those killed, was a child, according to reports.
The United States also warned of a “specific, credible threat” near Kabul airport and urged its citizens to leave the area, days after a deadly attack on crowds fleeing Taliban rule in Afghanistan.
