The United States military has taken out a suspected ISIS-K suicide bomber in a defensive airstrike in Kabul

The US has launched an airstrike on a suspected ISIS-K suicide bomber.

This comes just hours before the Taliban’s deadline to have all US forces and their allies out of Afghanistan as evacuation efforts continue at rapid pace.

Last week, ISIS-K suicide bombers killed as many as 170 people, including 13 American military personnel in coordinated attacks.

Central command saying the targeted drone strike has eliminated an imminent threat

In a bid to prevent any further attacks, special forces acted on intelligence they had received.

Captain Bill Urban said, “we are confident we successfully hit the target”.

“Secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material.”

There are no reports of civilian casualties at this stage

This is the second drone strike on an ISIS-K vehicle by the US.

A Taliban spokesperson said it is “not right to conduct operations on others’ soil”. The militant group has requested forewarning.

This comes after the US launched a drone strike on ISIS over the weekend.
