The United States carried out this Sunday in Kabul a “defensive” drone strike against a vehicle loaded with explosives, in order to “suppress an imminent threat” from the Islamic State in Khorasan (EI-K) against the airport, announced the Pentagon.
“We’re sure we’ve hit the target,” said Bill Urban, a central command spokesperson. “We are checking for the possibility of civilian casualties,” he said. “Secondary explosions from the vehicle showed the presence of a significant amount of explosive material,” he added.
