7:26 PM - 9 Jun 2013
This is an alarm that, if real, is an alert as to an attack. However, it has gone off in the past without an attack. Think of it sort of like a fire alarm. We will keep you apprised.
Update:
Reports are that the Kabul International Airport is under attack.
Via Reuters:
Explosions were heard by Reuters witnesses and there were reports of gunfire near Afghanistan’s main international airport in the capital, Kabul, early on Monday, and a police spokesman said insurgents had launched an attack.
The attack on the airport – which is also home to a large NATO-led military base – began shortly before 5 a.m. (0030 GMT), Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Stanekzai said. Explosions could still be heard several minutes after the attack began.
