he United States launched an airstrike following a suicide bombing at Kabul airport earlier this week. The target of the drone strike, believed to have been killed with no known civilian causalities, was an ISIS-K fighter believed to be involved in the planning future attacks, according to two U.S. defense officials.
The US military says it has killed an ISIS-K planner in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan. According to the US officials, the target was planning to attack US officials in Kabul airport. A UAV took off from an unnamed base in the Middle East and reportedly hit the target while he was in a car with another associate. It’s reportedly the first UAV strike launched by the United States from outside Afghanistan.
“U.S. military forces conducted an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner,” Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, confirmed Friday night. “The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties.”
The statement did not identify the target of the attack, or what role a “planner” has in the group. It is unclear whether the planner was involved in Thursday’s attack.
But because of little or no information about the “leader” they killed people started speculating that Biden needed a win and he invented one!
Photos that have been released by an Afghan news organization show the place where the drone strike occurred but show no human remains at all!

The White House has not offered any comments since the strike.
I went to the web site and one of the pictures shows what looks like a bloody cloth or body on the floor, left rear of the vehicle?
We need to add....B-61
Especially if they do what I THINK they’re gonna do to any Americans we don’t manage to evacuate.
Count me in with the doubters. The Biden administration has to report some success after completely botching up the pullout.
Who took the picture? Why are they on the ground? Where is the drone footage? FAKE!
Worse yet. This attack just showed the issue-k that we do not have the ability to strike back. They are free to reign their terror.
When camels in Afghanistan are frightened....? /s
Even if they did, it had to be from intelligence data collected from their ‘in country’ sources, which dried up about two weeks ago. This means they are trying to take advantage of any intel that they had because it will or has been erased since then. A total ‘wag the dog’ strategy..you don’t fire a drone without weeks or months of observation and data gathering. Where will they get new intel now?
That’s a tuk tuk. The indestructible means of transportation in the Middle East
Biden is probably taking credit for a suicide bomber who went off early.
Probably a suicide bomber that prematurely exploded. Biden use this to claim credit for some sort of silly attack
Yeah, I know it ain’t real, I’m still curious as to what movie it’s from.
Prolly some poor sap and his donkey.
Appeared to be someone horsing around with a drone.
Also, it will be cited as "proof" of the "over the horizon" capability that Biden keeps talking about.
Is this a joke? They hit a disabled golf cart?
So when do we bomb the Baby Milk Factory?
Maybe it was a Baby Formula Factory.
The Vatican pulled out and left the Pope Mobile
Wonder how do you track down a suicide bomber, who just blew himself up? Maybe with a vacuum and a mop?
