As previously reported, the U.S. government was issued a warning to remove all military personnel by August 31st or face an imminent threat from the Taliban.

On Thursday, a suicide bomber attack left 13 US military members dead along with 160 civilians. Several were injured in the attack which led to the Taliban increasing their security efforts.

Evacuations are continuing at Kabul International Airport as the deadline to remove all troops is rapidly approaching.
