Islamic State (IS) attacked Kabul Airport, with a suicide attack at the gates killing civilians and 12 US troops. This skirted the airlift of tens of thousands of afghans desperate to flee Afghanistan.
General Frank McKenzie, the head of US Central Command, said that this was the deadliest single incident for American forces in Afghanistan in a decade. Afghan health officials said 60 civilians died. At least two blasts rocked the area, witnesses said.
