The Taliban were shooting in the air, the attackers were shooting at the crowd: All that happened yesterday with the killer explosions in Kable?

Two powerful explosions occurred within the perimeter of Kanbul International Airport, until civilians were trying to flee Afghanistan, which has been occupied by the Taliban.

At least 90 people have died and 150 others have been injured, a senior health official in Kanbul told the BBC.

The Pentagon has confirmed that 13 American service personnel were among those killed.

The bombings came just hours after Western governments had warned their citizens to stay away from the airport, due to a threat from an ISIS branch.

That's what we know happened so far.

Blasts occurred outside the airport

The first blast occurred at around 6 o'clock [local time], near the nearby Baron Hotel, which was right next to the airport perimeter.

The hotel was being used by British officials to process Afghans to travel to the United Kingdom.

It was followed by shots and then by a second explosion near the Abiby Gate, one of the airport's main entrances.

Reports say the explosion occurred near a sewer where Afghans were waiting to be processed. Some of the victims fell into the sewage.

American officials said at least one assailant had been with explosives vests.

According to one witness, an attacker had fired the crowd, although reports also say Taliban guards had shot into the air.

Victims Figures

These numbers have grown all day long.

Recent numbers of Afghan victims including Taliban and American remain unconfirmed.

But the Pentagon said 13 members of American military personnel were killed and 15 others were injured. A senior health official in Kanbul told the BBC that at least 90 people were dead and at least 150 were injured.

Some countries have already completed evacuations

The attack is possible to complicate even more efforts to get as many people out of Afghanistan as possible.

Before the attack, a number of countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada, had announced that they would stop flying.

Turkey had also announced that its troops were withdrawing. /Periscope
