USA Update
[Afghanistan: Two 'high-profile' ISIS-K fighters killed and third wounded in airstrike, Pentagon says] [President Joe Biden has warned that another terror attack at Kabul airport is "highly likely in the next 24-36 hours" - and vowed further USA airstrikes against ISIS-K targets. Speaking after the Pentagon confirmed that two "high-profile" members of the terrorist group had been killed in an American strike, Mr Biden said he expected more violence in the Afghan capital before the looming US withdrawal deadline on 31 August. "The situation on the ground continues to be extremely dangerous, and the threat of terrorist attacks on the airport remains high," he said in a statement. "Our commanders informed me that an attack is highly likely in the next 24-36 hours."

The final UK troops, diplomats and officials has left Kabul, Downing Street has confirmed.
The departure of the final RAF flight brings to an end the UK's 20-year military involvement in Afghanistan. More than 15,000 people have been evacuated by the UK since 14 August. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the moment was a chance to reflect on the achievements of recent weeks - and the last two decades, such as girls' education and weakening al-Qaeda. In a letter to the armed forces community, Mr Johnson acknowledged the fall of Kabul to the Taliban will have been hard for them to watch. He added it would be "an especially difficult time for the friends and loved ones of the 457 service personnel who laid down their lives" during the war. The prime minister said the UK's involvement in Afghanistan "kept Al-Qaeda from our door for two decades and we are all safer as a result". "Whether you are still serving or a veteran, a loved-one, a relation or a friend, you all played your part and you should feel immense pride," he said. |
