The American military sent to the United States to ensure the security of the Kabul airport began to evacuate urgently.

Against the background of a tough ultimatum issued by the Taliban (a terrorist movement whose activities are banned in Russia - ed.) That all foreign troops, in order to avoid serious consequences, must leave the territory of Afghanistan before August 31, it became known that that the Pentagon began to urgently evacuate its military from the Kabul International Airport.

The reason for this, according to some reports, was the information that appeared at the disposal of the CIA that on August 31 Taliban militants intend to begin an assault on the Kabul airport and, under threat of destruction, ban any take-offs and landings.

"Thousands of US military personnel could be held hostage if Taliban evacuation conditions are not met within the next few days."- said the source.

Earlier in Washington it was stated that any conditions set by the Taliban were inappropriate. Obviously, the threat turned out to be quite serious, since several thousand American servicemen are banally surrounded on the territory of the air harbor, and the militants have dozens of portable anti-aircraft missile systems and anti-aircraft guns at their disposal, and therefore the blockade of Kabul International Airport is quite real.
