A rocket hit a neighborhood northwest of Kabul airport on Sunday, the AP reported, citing a local police chief after Afghanistan’s Tolo news agency said an explosion rocked the capital. U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN there is still “serious danger” in Kabul, where a suicide bomber last week killed at least 88 people. The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan warned citizens to leave the airport area, citing a “specific, credible threat” of another attack. The Taliban say they have taken control of three gates at Kabul’s airport from U.S. forces ahead of the deadline for the American withdrawal on Tuesday. President Joe Biden is visiting a military base in the U.S. to mark the return of the remains of 13 service members killed in last week’s Kabul attack.
