Afghanistan: Biden says another Kabul Airport attack likely

US President Joe Biden has warned that another attack on Kabul Airport is highly likely.

About 170 people died after a suicide bomber targeted the airport on Friday as crowds of Afghans were trying to get on evacuation flights.

The IS-K group has claimed the attack.

In retaliation, the US carried out a drone strike on eastern Afghanistan late on Friday, killing two "high-profile" members of IS-K - the Islamic State (IS) group in Khorasan Province.

The two are described as a planner and a facilitator. It is unclear whether they were directly involved in planning the Kabul airport attack.
