The United States confirmed several victims and wounded by the suicide bomber and the shooting.

“We can confirm that the explosion at the Able Gate came as a result of a complex attack that caused a number of affected, American and civilian. We can also confirm at least another explosion near the Baron” hotel, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.

The media report at least 60 victims and over 140 injured, a balance that seems destined to grow. Among those who lost their lives are children, while the media confirm that the injuries remain and members of the United States and Britain mission, which were stationed near the attack zone. Witnesses relate the horror scenes they experienced.

Where I was suddenly there was an explosion. There were people everywhere, and by the explosion people flew into the air, their heads were destroyed. Foreign soldiers were also affected. At least 400 or 500 people were standing there, said one witness.

For European countries, the attack is an indication that Afghanistan is no longer a safe place and that missions should be withdrawn immediately. But evacuation opportunities are becoming more and more exhausted.

There's a lot of tension going on. We've all known that danger from the beginning, given the confusion in Kabul and tension has been there since the beginning of the military airport. The next hours will remain extremely dangerous in Kabul and at the” airport, French President Emmanuel Macron said.

The attack has alarmed the governments of Western states. US President Joe Biden held a meeting with the National Security Council and will be constantly informed of the situation in Afghanistan.
