Timeline[edit]
2021[edit]
- 27 August: The United States launched an airstrike targeting a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - Khorasan Province in Nangarhar Province. The target was riding in a vehicle.[1] He was killed alongside another high-profile member, while a third militant was injured. The two killed were described as a planner and a facilitator of the 2021 Kabul airport attack. The airstrike was carried out a day after the attack, which resulted in the death of more than 180 people.[2]
- 29 August: A U.S. airstrike targeted a vehicle carrying a suspected ISIL-K suicide bomber. Ten people were reportedly killed during the strike, including six children, who were close to the target vehicle.[3] Some of those killed had previously worked for international NGOs and held visas allowing them entry to the United States.[4][5]
