Baby Delivered Mid-Flight From Afghanistan, 2 Others Born On Arrival

At least one of the children was a girl, although it is not clear whether any of them automatically qualify as American citizens.

One Afghan woman gave birth midair aboard a massive C-17 military plane evacuating people from Kabul, and two other women gave birth shortly after their flights landed, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby confirmed Tuesday. The two babies delivered on the ground were assisted by staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, an American-operated military hospital within Ramstein Air Base in southwest Germany. “I am told that moms and dads and babies are all fine and healthy, and all is looking good there,” Kirby told reporters.
