Sun 29 August 2021:
The US carried out a military strike on Sunday in Kabul, two US officials told Reuters.
The Taliban spokesman says the strike targeted a suicide bomber in a vehicle who wanted to attack Kabul airport.
Zabihullah Mujahid said in a message to journalists that the strike happened Sunday.
US military officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
The incident happened as police said a rocket struck a neighborhood just northwest of Kabul’s international airport Sunday as the US evacuation there winds down following the Taliban’s lightning takeover of the country, killing a child.
The two strikes initially appeared to be separate incidents, though information on both remained scarce.
