A U.S. drone strike blew up a vehicle carrying "multiple suicide
bombers" from Afghanistan's Islamic State affiliate on Sunday before
they could attack the ongoing military evacuation at Kabul's
international airport, American officials said. An Afghan official said
three children were killed in the strike.
The strike came just
two days before the U.S. is set to conclude a massive two-week-long
airlift of more than 114,000 Afghans and foreigners and withdraw the
last of its troops, ending America's longest war with the Taliban back
in power. (...)
