Kabul Airport Explosions Kill Four U.S. Troops, at Least 13 Afghans - WSJ

Thursday’s bombings were the first major security incidents since the Taliban took power in Kabul and began dismantling the blast barriers and other security installations that had been erected to thwart insurgent attacks during the two decades of American military presence.

It’s been 10 days since the Taliban took Kabul.

In a tweet condemning Thursday’s attacks, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid pointed out that they “took place in an area where U.S. forces are responsible for security.”

These are the first in-country combat deaths since February 2020.
