U.S. Embassy staff in Kabul have been ordered to destroy sensitive documents and other materials in the midst of significant advances made by the Taliban in recent days, according to an excerpt of the memo sent out to employees.

The memo said that garrison facilities “will provide destruction support” on a daily basis “until further notice,” adding that staff members should “reduce the amount of sensitive material on the property,” referring to the Embassy, according to the memo, which was obtained by The Epoch Times.
