US thwarts ISIS-K suicide bomber in Afghanistan
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.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
