Multiple U.S. Troops Killed at Kabul Airport

The Pentagon has confirmed that multiple U.S. troops and “a number of Afghan civilians” were killed in an attack outside the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Thursday, Axios reports.

Additional U.S. troops are being treated for injuries.

Washington Post: “The deaths marked the first U.S. military fatalities in Afghanistan since February 2020, when two American soldiers were killed in an insider attack by an Afghan soldier. The Trump administration signed a deal with the Taliban a few weeks later that included a promise that the militant group would not target U.S. troops.”
