At least 13 U.S. service members were killed in an attack near the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday.

An explosion that killed at least 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan Thursday was part of a "complex" attack near the Kabul airport, the Pentagon said. Two ISIS suicide bombers detonated in the vicinity of both the Kabul airport's Abbey Gate and the adjacent Baron Hotel, according to Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command. The U.S. service members killed in the explosion near the Abbey Gate included 10 Marines, one Army, one to be determined and one Navy hospital corpsman, or medic, a U.S. official confirmed to ABC News. A 13th service member injured in the attack at Abbey Gate later succumbed to his wounds, a U.S. Central Command spokesperson said Thursday evening. “We can confirm at this time 10 Marines were killed in the line of duty at Hamid Karzai International Airport. Additionally, several more were wounded and are being cared for at this time," Maj. Jim Stenger, Marine Corps spokesperson, said in a statement Thursday night.
