The Dhaka Times Desk At least 90 people, including 13 US soldiers and children, were killed in a series of suicide bombings outside Kabul's Hamid Karzai airport.
Hundreds more people were injured in this incident. The US media The Wall Street Journal and the British media Daily Mail Online reported this information in their respective reports.
Various international media reported, citing eyewitnesses, that many Afghans were staying outside the airport to leave the country. Several countries, including Denmark, were working to evacuate Afghans from Kabul. Meanwhile, a suicide bomber detonated outside the airport's Abbey Gate. Around four to five hundred people were staying there at this time. After the first blast, another attacker opened fire from a distance. Shortly thereafter, another explosion occurred outside the nearby Barron Hotel.
After the explosion in different media, the video shows piles of dead bodies. At least 90 people including 13 US soldiers and children have died in this incident. About a hundred more people were injured. Many of them were rescued from the scene in critical condition and taken to local hospitals. Many were given first aid at the scene. However, as the number of injured in the bomb attack in the crowd is high, the death toll is likely to rise further, said the doctors of the local hospitals.
The Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the twin suicide bombings. They claimed responsibility for the attack in a report by their own news agency Amaq. According to the report of Amaq News Agency, Hamid Karzai was able to reach the US 'Baron Camp' area near the airport with a suicide bomb. The man detonated the explosive belt after reaching a large gathering of US Army translators and associates.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said there were not one but two explosions. One is at the airport's Abbey Gate. The other is next to Baron Hotel. This hotel is located a short distance from the gate.
The Foreign Office said that the Bangladeshis staying there are safe. Bangladeshis have been asked to contact two hotline numbers.
Meanwhile, after this incident, US President Joe Biden strongly condemned and said to crack down on terrorist activities with a strong hand. On the other hand, the UN Security Council has called an emergency meeting.
