The U.S. Embassy in Kabul warned Americans trying to leave Afghanistan that they should be aware of “the potential of violence and security threats” near the airport.
“We are processing people at multiple gates. Due to large crowds and security concerns, gates may open or close without notice. Please use your best judgment and attempt to enter the airport at any gate that is open,” the embassy said in a bulletin on Thursday, adding that Americans need to watch out for “ongoing threats.”
