US President Joe Biden has released a statement revealing military commanders have informed him that another attack on troops and civilians is likely within the next 24-36 hours.
The president's warning follows a bombing at the Kabul airport, that killed 170 Afghans and 13 US service members. Biden reiterated that the mission to evacuate civilians and allies by August 31 continues and will not be affected by further security measures being taken.
"Despite the treacherous situation in Kabul, we are continuing to evacuate civilians," Biden said.
The president also promised more strikes from the US in response to the ISIS-K bombing. It was revealed prior to Biden's statement that the US conducted air strikes that killed two "high profile" people involved in the planning of the Kabul attacks.
"This strike was not the last," Biden said, despite the 20 year military conflict in Afghanistan winding down to a close in the coming days.
