Reports citing U.S. officials said the strike in the city of Kabul hit a car packed with explosives in a residential area of the city. The car was allegedly carrying multiple suicide bombers on their way to the Kabul airport.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said they succeeded in eliminating the intended target.&nbsp;\u201cWe are confident we successfully hit the target,\u201d said U.S. Navy Capt. Bill Urban. \u201cSignificant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicated the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This potentially marks the second drone strike against suspected terrorists in the recent days, after the Biden administration said it killed two ISIS-K terrorists in a strike in Eastern Afghanistan. ISIS-K was founded in 2015 and is said to be a smaller, newer, and more violent terrorist group than the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Central Command released a statement following the strike stating, \u201cwe remain vigilant for potential future threats.\u201d Meanwhile, the U.S. has continued to warn of a specific credible threat near the airport as the evacuation efforts continue.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">U.S. Central Command statement on defensive strike in Kabul<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fHscnX41ge\">https:\/\/t.co\/fHscnX41ge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Central Command (@CENTCOM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1432001651376857089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fire-crews-work-to-prevent-calif-caldor-fire-from-reaching-lake-tahoe\/\">Fire Crews Work To Prevent Calif.
