The drone attack in Nangahar province was directed at the regional branch of the jihadist militia, "Islamic State Khorasan Province", IS-K, a spokesman for the US command Centcom announced. "According to the first signs, we have eliminated the target. We are not aware of any civilian casualties."
The American President, Joe Biden, after the attacks in Kabul, where 13 American soldiers and about 180 Afghan civilians lost their lives, vowed that the US would counterattack. "We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will go after you and you will pay for this," Biden said after the attack. The president's spokeswoman, Jen Pseki, once again reinforced the president's determination. "He has made it clear that he does not want them to live on the ground anymore." Psaki responded with this to the question, whether Biden will order their murder or bring them to trial. The attack in Kabul two days ago was carried out by the Afghan branch of IS, IS-K.
Risk of new attacks
The US Embassy in Kabul called on Americans to leave the airport gates "immediately". American citizens who are currently at the Abbey Gate, the Northern Gate or the new Ministry of Internal Affairs must leave immediately," the embassy announced in a recent public announcement. Even on Thursday, the American embassy had published such a warning.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby spoke of "concrete and credible threats" at the Kabul airport. The next few days are "the most dangerous of the mission," said presidential spokeswoman Jen Psaki. However, the evacuation flights will be carried out until the last moment, announced the general, Hank Taylor. /DW
