Encounter between attackers and Afghan security forces at Kabul airport
One jawan killed, three injured
An Afghan security force member has been killed and three soldiers have been injured in an encounter with unidentified assailants at Kabul airport. The German army has given this information by tweeting. The German army tweeted and said, American and German forces are also involved in the fight and all our soldiers are safe. So far, information has not been received about who are the attackers who carried out this attack. However, for the time being, the needles of suspicion are pointing towards the Taliban, which has surrounded the Kabul airport.
The attack on the airport in the war-torn country’s capital came at a time when the British military said seven people were killed in a stampede and gunfire during an attempt to enter Kabul International Airport on Sunday. The Taliban have surrounded the airport after capturing Kabul last Sunday. At the same time, after the return of the Taliban and the fall of the Afghan government, there is an atmosphere of fear among the people. This is the reason why a large number of people are trying to leave the country and are reaching the airport for this.
America and its allies are withdrawing their troops from Afghanistan after 20 years. President Joe Biden’s administration has set an August 31 deadline for the withdrawal of troops. However, in view of the ever-changing circumstances, the date of withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan can be extended even further. Biden said on Sunday that we have moved a group of Americans to the Kabul airport compound to safely and effectively evacuate. I want to say that Americans who want to come back home, they will be brought back.
At the same time, Indian-American leader and former US envoy to the United Nations Nikki Haley has said that America has completely surrendered to the Taliban. Haley, who comes from the Republican Party, has said that Joe Biden himself is responsible for the kind of situation that has arisen in Afghanistan. Haley said, ‘This is an incredible incident, where the Taliban is taking American citizens hostage. We have to make sure that we work with our allies. We have to figure out a way to get our citizens and our allies out.
