US carried out strike after rocket targets house in Kabul

In Afghanistan, another explosion took place near the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul on Sunday, two days after ISIS-Khorasan executed a series of deadly blasts. According to reorts,at least  two people were killed and three others were injured. This comes hours after US President Joe Biden warned of another terror attack at the Hamid Karzai International Airport within the next 24 to 36 hours. Reports said Sunday's blast was heard from the Gulai area of Khajeh Baghra in the 11th security district. Unconfirmed reports also claimed that the blast might have been caused by a rocket hitting a residential house in the area.

The United States has carried out a military strike in Kabul, two US officials told Reuters after a massive blast was reported from a residential area in the vicinity of the Kabul airport on Sunday. Reports said a child was killed in the rocket attack.

The US State Department urged all Americans in the vicinity of the Kabul airport to leave the area immediately because of the threat. Late Sunday afternoon, a loud blast was heard coming from the north of the city which a security official in the toppled government said was a rocket hitting a house. Further details were not immediately available. Meanwhile, about 114,000 people have fled the country via a US-led evacuation since the Taliban swept back into power two weeks ago, and the operation is winding down despite Western powers saying thousands may be left behind.
