Earlier on Thursday, U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the attack and asserted to conclude the evacuation process as soon as possible. Furthermore, Biden and Harris are scheduled to meet their national security team to discuss the developments in Afghanistan.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, UN Chief Antonio Guterres, Indian Ambassador to UN TS Tirumurti, among many others condemned the Kabul attack.

Two suicide bombers and gunmen opened fire on throngs of Afghans at Kabul’s airport, turning a sight of desperation into one of terror on Thursday.  According to Afghan and American officials, at least 60 Afghans and 13 Americans were killed in the attacks. This was followed by a second explosion at the Hamid Karzai International Airport near the Baron Hotel.
