Afghan crisis: Chaos at Kabul airport killed 7 Afghans

The disorder and chaos around Kabul's international airport saw another seven Afghan civilians killed in crowds, the British military said Sunday, showing the danger still posed to those trying to flee the Taliban's takeover of the country.

All the changes come as the US Embassy issued a new security warning Saturday telling citizens not to travel to the Kabul airport without proper instruction from a US government representative. Officials declined to provide more specifics about the IS threat but described it as significant. They said there have been no confirmed attacks as yet by the militants, who have battled the Taliban in the past.

On Sunday, the British military confirmed the seven deaths of civilians in the crowds in Kabul. There have been rushes and crushing injuries in the crowds, especially as Taliban fighters fire into the air to drive away those desperate to get on any flight out of the country. "Conditions on the ground remain extremely challenging but we are doing everything we can to manage the situation as safely and securely as possible," the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
