HKIA security updates

We updated our access and security maps of HKIA with information as of 24.08. Situation remains extremely volatile. Situation report available by DM/email #KabulAirport #HKIA #KabulEvac #DigitalDunkirk #KabulAirlift #Afghanistan

Recent information suggests that the explosion resulted from a drone strike conducted by US forces in the Khaje Bughra area (West of HKIA/ North of Qala-e Fatullah) & targeting alleged hostile individuals in a vehicle. Casualties reported.

Local sources mention the Khaje Bughra area (West of HKIA/ North of Qala-e Fatullah). Poor targeting would be consistent with the vector (Indirect Fire).

Explosion heard IVO HKIA. Ambulances reportedly on their way. Precise location & vector to be confirmed.

Initial reporting suggests Indirect Fire (likely rocket attack).
