A dozen U.S. service members were killed and 15 wounded Thursday when two explosions rocked an area outside Kabul’s airport, the Pentagon said.
Taliban sources told NBC News that 13 people including children were killed in what they described as a suicide attack. Russia’s Foreign Ministry gave the same death toll.
The explosions came hours after the United States and its allies had warned of a potential terror attack at the airport as thousands gathered in a desperate effort to flee after the Taliban’s takeover of the country.
