Days after the Taliban* gained control of the Afghan capital amid the withdrawal of US troops, a spate of explosions claimed by Daesh-Khorasan* terrorist group has targeted Kabul airport amid the massive evacuation effort underway by the Western military contingent.

World leaders have been condemning the “cowardly” attacks by “despicable” perpetrators that claimed multiple lives and left scores injured around Kabul airport on Thursday.

The Daesh-Khorasan* terrorist group (banned in Russia) claimed responsibility for the spate of explosions amid the massive evacuation effort underway by the Western military contingent. As many as 60 people died and 1,338 people sustained injuries in the series of terrorist attacks targeting Kabul airport and its outskirts, a source in the Afghan Ministry of Health told Sputnik on Friday.
