This morning, at least 13 U.S. troops were killed in Kabul, Afghanistan by two suicide bombers and gunmen. Twelve deaths were initially announced, followed by confirmation of an extra death hours later.

More than a dozen soldiers were wounded by the attack. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, bragging about a suicide bomber “managing to penetrate all the security fortifications” put into place by U.S. forces and the Taliban.
