As per news report of BBC, it says it believes it killed a planner for the IS-K group, which said it was behind Thursday's deadly bomb attack on Kabul airport that killed up to 170 people. The US military is continuing with evacuations at Kabul airport at a "very fast pace", ahead of the 31 August deadline agreed with the Taliban. But the US warns citizens to avoid the airport, amid "specific, credible" threats of more attacks. The UK is now focusing on military and diplomatic departures - no more people will be processed. It says it will use "every lever" to help the 800 to 1,100 eligible Afghans and 100 to 150 Britons not evacuated.
