Kabul Airport Reopened to Receive Aid, Domestic Flights Resumed

A technical team was able to reopen Kabul airport to receive relief, and a correspondent stated domestic flights had resumed, media sources reported.

The envoy stated that the airport's runway has been restored in collaboration with Afghan officials. Two domestic flights were operated from Kabul to Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar, according to the channel.

Since the end of the enormous US-led airlift of its citizens, other Western nationals, and Afghans who assisted Western countries, Kabul airport had been closed. After 20 years of war, the end of the operation signalled the final departure of US forces from Afghanistan.

Tens of thousands of civilians were evacuated as the Taliban, an Islamist terrorist group, quickly took control of Afghanistan, the West's enemy in the two-decade conflict that followed the September 11 attacks on the United States.

When the evacuation effort finished at the end of August, thousands of people who wanted to escape Afghanistan because they were afraid of life under Taliban authority were left behind. Those who wish to flee have been assured safe passage by the Taliban.
