| Another explosion was heard from the direction of Kabul’s airport, RT's senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev reported on Thursday. This comes as dozens have been killed and injured from a double blast in the airport earlier. | |
| A Taliban spokesperson told NATO officials earlier on Thursday that the massing of people at the airport might tempt a bad actor trying to hurt the Islamic fundamentalist group’s “reputation” - deeming the threat level “low and unspecific” but nevertheless present. | |
| RT's Murad Gadziev confirmed that the ultra-crowded airport as “a target that many terrorists won’t be able to walk by," calling the press of bodies "indescribable." | |
| His sources cited the crowds as the primary cause of death despite the massive explosions, explaining "many of the people who died today died not from shrapnel wounds or direct damage from the bomb blast but from the stampede." | |
