American forces launched a military strike in Kabul targeting a possible suicide car bomb that was aiming to attack the airport, US officials told Reuters.

The strike initially appeared to be a separate incident to the strike at a residential property three miles north-west of the airport, though this is yet to be confirmed.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the strike targeted suspected ISKP militants. They said they were citing initial information and cautioned it could change.

The story was previously confirmed by a Taliban spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, who said in a message to journalists that the strike had taken place.

To reiterate, it is not immediately clear if the blast near the airport and the US strike are the same event.

The attack comes as the US winds down a historic airlift in which tens of thousands of people were evacuated from Kabul’s airport.
