Afghanistan-Taliban Crisis LIVE Updates: US Carries Out Air Strike In Kabul, Destroys Car Bomb

Afghanistan-Taliban Crisis LIVE Updates: The US said it had only struck the vehicle, but added that secondary blasts indicated "a substantial amount of explosive material".

The United States said it destroyed an explosive-laden vehicle with an air strike in Kabul on Sunday, hours after President Joe Biden warned of another terror attack in the capital as a massive airlift of tens of thousands of Afghans entered its last days. A Taliban spokesman confirmed the incident, saying a car bomb destined for the airport had been destroyed -- and that a possible second strike had hit a nearby house. The US said it had only struck the vehicle, but added that secondary blasts indicated "a substantial amount of explosive material". Local media reported possible civilian casualties, which the US said it was assessing. The US air strike came after a suicide bomber from the ISIS group on Thursday targeted US troops stopping huge crowds of people from entering Kabul's airport. About 114,000 people have been evacuated since August 15, when the Taliban swept back into power.
