The US has carried out a drone strike against an ISIS-K “planner” in eastern Afghanistan, in its first move to retaliate against the terrorist group for its deadly attack on Kabul airport on Thursday.
According to US Central Command on Friday night, American forces conducted an “over-the-horizon counter-terrorism operation” in the Nangarhar province of the country.
“Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties,” a spokesperson said.
