The blast was reported hours after US officials warned of the possibility of a terror attack. The United States had also warned of a “specific, credible threat” near Kabul airport and urged its citizens to leave the area

The Pentagon said on Saturday it had killed two ‘high profile’ targets and wounded another in a drone strike in retaliation for Thursday’s suicide bombing

US President Joe Biden vowed to keep up airstrikes against the Islamic State group responsible for the twin explosions outside Kabul airport.
