Guwahati: The British military say seven Afghan civilians have been killed in the crowds near Kabul’s international airport amid the chaos of those fleeing the Taliban takeover of the country.
India on Sunday evacuated 168 people including 107 Indians from Kabul in a military transport aircraft of the IAF amid the deteriorating security situation in the Afghan capital city following its takeover by the Taliban a week back. This is in addition to a group of 87 Indians who landed in Delhi from Tajikistan capital of Dushanbe and a group of 135 Indians who were flown in from Doha. Both groups were evacuated from Kabul airport on Saturday.
Earlier on Saturday, at least 72 Afghan Sikhs and Hindus, including two Members of Parliament representing the minority community, were stopped by the Taliban from boarding an IAF aircraft, and returned from the Kabul airport.
