In a statement on Friday, U.S. Central Command initially reported that an unmanned airstrike in the Nangarhar Province killed one ISIS-K member. There is no known civilian casualties.<\/p>\n<p>In a briefing on Saturday, officials said the strike took out two high-profile planners and wounded another.<\/p>\n<p>The over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation comes after the terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly bombing outside the Kabul airport that took the lives of 13 U.S. service members. Following the attack, Joe Biden vowed \u201cwe will hunt you down and make you pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I will defend our people and our interests with every measure at my command.<\/p>\n<p>To those who carried out this attack: We will not forgive.
