American soldiers have reportedly blown up US military equipment in Afghanistan in order to avoid it falling into the wrong hands as evacuation flights draw to a close.
Blasts heard shortly after two suicide bombers and gunmen targeted crowds of Afghans outside Kabul airport were US forces attempting to destroy weapons and ammunition, the Taliban said.
Isis-K has claimed responsibility for the terror attacks, which have so far killed killed at least 95 Afghans and 13 American troops, according to Afghan and US officials. At least 150 people were injured.
