US Drone Strike ISIS-K: The Pentagon issued a statement saying that in response to the deadly bombings at Kabul airport, the US carried out airstrikes on the Islamic State hideout in Afghanistan. US officials have claimed to have killed the main conspirator of the Kabul bombing in this drone attack.
Washington. The US carried out drone strikes in the early hours of Saturday against a terrorist organization that calls itself the Islamic State (US Drone Strike ISIS). The US has retaliated less than 48 hours after the suicide bombings at Kabul Airport, in which the mastermind of the attack is being claimed dead. At least 169 people were killed in the suicide bombings at the airport. 13 American soldiers are also among those who lost their lives in this terrorist attack. The Khorasan model of Islamic State (ISIS-K) had claimed responsibility for these bombings. At the same time, America has expressed the possibility of another attack on Kabul airport and has urged its citizens to leave immediately.
The army has carried out these attacks in Nangar province. For security reasons, US citizens have been asked to leave ‘immediately’ through different gates at the airport. US Central Command spokesman Captain Bill Urban issued a statement, ‘US military forces conducted a counter-terrorism operation against an ISIS-K planner. This unmanned airstrike took place in Nangar province of Afghanistan. There are initial indications that we have killed the target person. We have information that no civilian has been killed.
Captain Urban said, ‘This unmanned attack took place in Nangahar province of Afghanistan.’ He informed, ‘Early indications are that we have finished the target. We are not aware of the death of any common citizen. The blast at the airport is being called the biggest attack in two decades. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Friday that US officials believe “another terrorist attack is likely in Kabul”. “The risk is still on and it is active,” he said. Our soldiers are still in danger.
The White House and the Pentagon have warned that there could be more bleeding ahead of the approaching deadline for the withdrawal of US forces and the closure of the airlift. Saki said the coming few days in the process of evacuating people ‘will be our most dangerous time ever.’
Earlier, US President Joe Biden pledged to avenge the death of 13 American soldiers killed in the attack and told the terrorists responsible, ‘We will kill you and you will pay the price’. Biden said at the White House on Thursday, ‘Those who carried out this attack as well as those who want to harm America, let me tell you that we will not spare. We will not forget. We will kill you and you will pay the price. I will defend my interests and my people.
