JUST IN: Third Explosion near #Kabul airport, Afghan local media reporting.

I'm following with grave concern the situation at Kabul’s airport & strongly condemn today’s horrific terrorist attack.

The incident underscores the volatility of Afghanistan, but also strengthens our resolve as we continue to deliver urgent assistance to the Afghan people.

"There have been several terrorist attacks outside #Kabul airport today. I strongly condemn those heinous attacks. My thoughts are with the victims & their loved ones, including those of US servicemen." @HeikoMaas

"The last #Bundeswehr aircraft flew from #Kabul to #Tashkent tonight. On board were Bundeswehr soldiers & the core team of our Embassy. I am deeply gracious for their tremendous efforts. Over the course of the last days we have evacuated over 5300 people into safety." @HeikoMaas

"Today marks the end of the military evacuation. But our efforts continue until everyone we bear responsibility for, is safe. For this purpose, we are in close dialog with our partners. I will travel myself on Sunday to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Qatar & Turkey"@HeikoMaas

Governor Abbott Statement On U.S. Military Members Killed In Kabul Airport Attack

"What we're witnessing in Kabul right now is an absolute tragedy. Brave U.S. Marines and soldiers sacrificed everything to protect innocent lives and defend our nation's principles of
freedom and liberty for all. Their families are left grieving the heartbreaking loss of a loved one.

Please join Cecilia and me in praying for these Marines and soldiers who fought through to the end, for their loved ones, and for all U.S. military members who continue to serve courageously and honorably for our country around the world."
