ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Kabul

And for those who need more contact the Taliban has been fighting ISIS-K for years. ISIS has also been attacking Kabul for years and have been responsible for most of the bombings against the city, such as the attack against the girls school earlier this year that killed 70, most of which were children.

The Taliban claim to have taken control of parts of the military side of Kabul airport (not by force), likely signaling full NATO departure from the country soon.

From what I am seeing Marine LCpl. Ricky Thompson, 21, passed away on Tuesday, August 24, and was not a casualty of the Kabul airport suicide bombing. Reportedly due to suicide.

HKIA still on high alert for the possibility of more ISKP attacks as evacuation efforts continue.

Round 2

Pro tip to anyone who is in the journalism field: don’t do this.

I’m seeing reports of rocket fire in Kabul. No information on targets or if this is being mistaken as drone strikes. Either way we will need to wait for more details.

Reports of rocket fire from a parked vehicle inside Kabul aimed at the
Hamid Karzai international airport, however, the rockets didn’t reach their target. Truck mounted rocket launchers are a hallmark of ISIS-K attacks in Kabul.

The rockets exploded mid air and apparently rained shrapnel down on nearby neighborhoods
