U.S. military flights evacuating diplomats, Americans, and others out of Kabul restarted on Tuesday after the airport runway was cleared, said officials.
“Runway in Kabul international airport is open. I see airplanes landing and taking off,” Stefano Pontecorvo, NATO’s civilian representative, wrote on Twitter Tuesday. In another tweet, Pontecorvo said the “situation [is] under control” at the airport, apparently the only way some will be able to fly out of Afghanistan after the Taliban took over the country and its capital.
