Afghan Uzbek warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum and Tajik leader Atta Mohammad Noor fled to Hayratan Border Pass with Uzbekistan about 5 hours ago.

That’s it, charter flights arriving in Kabul now, evacuating foreign nationals.

Our ambassador is likely to evac in 36 hours. Power is out in Kabul, airstrikes heard in the south of Kabul. There is one Afghan division and and a special operations corps left in Kabul. Estimated 70% of all the weapons and vehicles and aircraft are in Taliban hands.

The rest of the embassy staff, as well as SIV’s, local employees and their families will be shuttled to the Karzai international airport, where they will setup a fallback embassy to keep processing visas/evacuations and prepare to leave.
