Kirby said the first attack killed multiple US citizens and civilians.

The first explosion was reportedly caused by an ISIS suicide bomber detonating an explosive device, US officials told Politico.

The Taliban said the first blast has killed at least 13 people, including children. The Times has reported there have been no British casualties from the Abbey Gate explosion.

Over 30 people have been wounded by the Kabul airport attacks, with six dying on their way to Kabul’s Emergency Hospital.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been briefed on the situation and will chair a security COBRA meeting later today.
