Kabul, Afghanistan: rockets were licensed Monday at Kabul Airport, where American troops were races to complete their withdrawal from Afghanistan and evacuate allies under the threat of ISIS group attacks.
President Joe Biden has set a time limit on Tuesday to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan, relying on a longest closure of the military conflicts of his nation, who started retaliation for attacks of September 11.
The return of the movement of the Hard Islamist Talibans, which was overthrown in 2001 but took over the power fifteenth night, triggered an exodus of terrified people aboard the evacuation flights led by the United States.
These flights, which took more than 120,000 people from Kabul airport, will officially end Tuesday when the last of the last thousands of American troops withdraws.
But US forces are now focused primarily on robbers and US diplomats safely.
The ISIS Group, Taliban rivals, is the biggest threat to withdrawal after making a suicide bomb attack at the perimeter of the airport at the end of the week that has claimed more than 100 lives, including 13 US troops.
Biden had warned more attacks were very likely and the United States said it has done an aerial shot on Sunday night in Kabul on a car car prepared by ISIS.
This was followed Monday morning with rockets being dismissed at the airport.
“We can not sleep”
The White House confirmed that there had been a rocket attack led at the airport, but said the operations were “uninterrupted”.
“The President … Reconfirmed his order that the commanders redouble their efforts to give priority to do everything necessary to protect our forces on the ground,” said the declaration of the White House.
An AFP photographer Monday took pictures of a car destroyed with a launcher system still visible in the rear seat.
An American suspected drone strike had struck the car, about two kilometers from the airport.
A Taliban manager on the stage said he believed that five rockets had been dismissed and all were destroyed by the airport missile defense systems.
Although there has been no death or damage ratio of rocket attacks, they have caused greater concerns for people already traumatized by years of war.
“Since the Americans took control of the airport, we can not sleep properly,” Abdullah, who lives near the airport and only gave a single name, “said AFP.
“It’s either a shot, rockets, sirens or sounds of huge planes that bother us. And now that they are directly targeted, he can put our lives in danger.”
The United States stated that the air strike Sunday night on the car car had eliminated another threat of Jihadis Isis.
However, it might have also killed civilians.
“We are aware of the relationships of civilian victims following our strike on a vehicle in Kabul,” Captain Bill Urban, a central command spokesperson, said in a statement.
“We would be deeply saddened by any potential loss of innocent life.”
In recent years, the Afghanistan-Pakistan chapter of ISIS is responsible for some of the most deserving attacks in these countries.
They have massacred civilians in mosques, public squares, schools and even hospitals.
While Isis and the Taliban are Sunni Islamists, they are bitter enemies – with each claiming to be the real bearers of jihad flags.
The suicide bombings of last week at the airport led to the worst day death of a day for the US Army in Afghanistan since 2011.
The Isis threat forced the US military and the Taliban to cooperate to ensure the airport security in an unthinkable way a few weeks ago.
Saturday, Taliban fighters escorted a constant stream of bus Afghans to the main passenger terminal, handing them to the US forces for evacuation.
Head of the Taliban
The Taliban promised a softer rule mark in relation to their first standing standing, that the US military ended because the group gave Al-Qaeda shrinking.
But many Afghans fear a brutal repetition of the Islamic legislation of the Taliban, as well as violent remuneration to work with foreign military, western missions or the previous government.
Western allies have warned many thousands of at-risk Afghans have not been able to obtain evacuation flights.
Sunday, the Taliban revealed their supreme leader Hibattullah Akhundzada in southern Afghanistan and considering making a public appearance.
“He is present in Kandahar. He lived there since the very beginning,” said Spokesman for Taliban Zabihullah Mujahid.
