Pentagon says two ‘high-profile’ ISIS-K terrorists killed by US airstrike; another wounded
Fox News
The Pentagon announced Saturday that the U.S. strike targeting ISIS-K terrorists took out two high-profile "planners and facilitators" in response to the suicide bombing at Kabul Airport that killed 13 American soldiers and dozens of Afghans.
The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangarhar Province and was a single mission. There were no civilian targets. Fox News confirmed Friday that the drone hit a vehicle carrying an ISIS-K target who was believed to be planning future attacks. The Pentagon would not go into detail about the targets’ connections to the Thursday attack at Kabul Airport, but described them as "planners and facilitators." It would not release the names of those taken out by the U.S. strike.
