U.S. forces conducted a drone strike against an ISIS-K target in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sunday, U.S. Central Command said, less than a day after President Joe Biden promised more retaliatory strikes against the affiliate of the Islamic State terrorist group.
A CENTCOM spokesperson, Navy Capt. Bill Urban, said in a statement that the strike targeted a vehicle that posed “an imminent threat” to Hamid Karzai International Airport. Thirteen U.S. military personnel and more than 110 Afghans were killed in a suicide bombing outside the airport last week.
