Voice of America
The United States conducted an airstrike Sunday against a vehicle that posed a threat to the Kabul airport, and the U.S. Central Command is now looking into reports of civilian casualties.
“We are aware of reports of civilian casualties following our strike on a vehicle in Kabul,” Captain Bill Urban, CENTCOM spokesperson, said in a statement Sunday night. The U.S. is investigating and, “We would be deeply saddened by any potential loss of innocent life,” Urban said. Earlier Sunday the military said its forces struck a vehicle, “eliminating an imminent ISIS-K (Islamic State Khorasan) threat to Hamad Karzai International airport.”Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27, 2024.
