The tension in Afghanistan does not stop. At around 5 o’clock, at least five rockets were fired towards Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. There would be no injuries. Confirmation comes from a United States official at ABC News. The missiles were intercepted by the US anti-missile system.
Several witnesses state that the rockets, fortunately intercepted, hit Salim Karwan, a neighborhood near the Kabul International Airport. Shots followed immediately after the explosions, but it is not clear where they came from.
At the moment, an official reports, there is no news of victims. According to rumors, the rockets were launched from a car near the Khorshid Private University near the Lab Jar Khairkhana intersection, towards the Kabul airport.
The tension, therefore, is skyrocketing and these are crucial hours because the ultimatum of the Taliban who ordered Westerners to leave the country by 31 August will expire.
Meanwhile, yesterday another American drone hit an ISIS vehicle, with kamikaze ready to hit US troops again at Kabul airport, thus preventing a massacre perhaps even worse than that of Friday. Nine victims, including 6 children and 4 other people were injured.
The car was loaded with explosives and the terrorist wanted to break through one of the entrances, now manned by the Taliban, and massacre the soldiers engaged in the retreat. The US Intelligence, in all probability primed by the Taliban themselves, identified them in a neighborhood adjacent to the airport. The unmanned aircraft destroyed the machine and triggered secondary explosions. There could also be civilian casualties because at the same time eyewitnesses told Ariana TV of another explosion, “due to a rocket,” which nearly demolished a house in the same area. This hypothesis was later denied.
