A Taliban official announced Sunday that the movement is working with the US forces withdrawing from Afghanistan to hand over the authority over the Kabul airport.
This explosion came three days after an attack shook the Kabul airport, which the western forces are using to complete their evacuations from the country.
Yesterday, United States President Joe Biden warned of a 'highly likely' attack on the Kabul Airport within the next 24-36 hours. Biden revealed that his military commanders informed him of that during a briefing.
Biden also noted that the situation in Afghanistan is still "extremely dangerous."
