Chaos at Kabul airport as Afghans try to flee Taliban - BBC News

US troops are taking control of Kabul's international airport, as desperate residents try to flee the city following the Taliban's return to Kabul.

The US military has secured the site and is taking over air traffic control to evacuate American and allied staff.

But commercial flights have mostly been suspended, stranding hundreds of Afghans and other foreign nationals.

Footage shared online showed hundreds of people running towards the airport after the militants took control of the presidential palace on Sunday.
