US strike in Afghanistan followed ISIL-affiliate suicide bombing that killed at least 175 people at Kabul airport.
A US air strike in Afghanistan has killed two high-profile targets of the Islamic State in Khorasan Province, ISKP (ISIS-K) group, an ISIL (ISIS) affiliate, and left another wounded, the Pentagon said. No civilians were hurt in the attack early on Saturday, which followed the suicide bombing at Kabul airport on Thursday – claimed by ISKP – that killed at least 175 people, including 13 US troops, Major General Hank Taylor told a news conference later on Saturday. The Pentagon declined to say if the people targeted in the US attack were directly involved in the suicide bombing or to identify them, but said the United States knew who they were.
