A child in Kabul has been killed in an explosion as the US launched a military strike targeting a vehicle containing ‘multiple suicide bombers’ driving to the Afghan airport, just hours after Joe Biden warned of the possibility of another jihadist atrocity following this week’s attack.
Two US officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Reuters that American forces launched a strike in the capital city targeting suspected ISIS-K militants who were aiming to attack Hamid Karzai International Airport, where Afghans are trying to flee the Taliban.
A Kabul police chief later claimed that a child had been killed after a rocket struck a house in the Khajeh Baghra area to the north-west of the airport, in what is thought to be a separate incident. Two witnesses said the blast appeared to have been caused by a rocket.

And a few moments ago an email from one of our marines who was stationed in Afghanistan was sent and in it, we received really patriotic pictures!
He confirmed that the US missile that targeted a suicide bomber in a vehicle moments ago has a message on it, names of fallen troops reportedly written on a missile that targeted ISIS.

This is the second attack on terrorists in the last 24 hours after the Pentagon said a US drone mission in eastern Afghanistan killed two members of the so-called Islamic State group’s Afghanistan affiliate early on Saturday in retaliation for the airport bombing, and Mr. Biden said the extremists can expect more.
RIP

Lots of conflicting stories going around regards to this reported drone strike in #Kabul, #Afghanistan today. They all say drone strike however, this looks more like a mk. 84 in a GBU-31 setup, I doubt this one be used with a drone….
