13 Americans are dead.
More than 100 people were killed, including at least 12 U.S. service members and 90 Afghans, at the Kabul airport today when two blasts ripped through crowds trying to enter the American-controlled facility. A suicide bomb attack at the airport’s Abbey Gate was followed by an assault by gunmen, officials said. Another bomb attack took place at a hotel outside the airport. Fifteen U.S. service members were injured, the Pentagon said. The attack marked the deadliest day for the U.S. military in Afghanistan since 2011, and came just five days before the Biden administration’s deadline for the complete military withdrawal from the country. More attacks are expected.
