All U.S. evacuation flights have been suspended at Kabul international airport, Fox News has confirmed.
A U.S. official says the runway is “not secure” after hundreds of Afghans “breached” the airport walls and flooded the runway.
Until the runway is cleared of Afghans desperate to escape following the Taliban’s swift takeover of the country, all U.S. military and charter flights are suspended, the official said.
A video is widely circulating on social media Monday morning purportedly showing Afghans clinging onto the side of an American C-17 aircraft leaving Kabul airport in a desperate attempt to flee the Taliban.
Dozens of men could be seen jogging alongside the plane as it was taxiing in preparation for takeoff.
