On August 23, near the airport of the Afghan capital, there was an exchange of fire between Afghan security forces, American and German military personnel with unknown persons.

As a result of the shootout, one soldier was killed and three were injured, the Bundeswehr reported. They clarified that the servicemen of the FRG and the United States were not injured.

Note that according to the statement of the US State Department, the Kabul airport will be closed for the evacuation of people for two days. After this period, flights will resume. Currently, many citizens continue to remain in the airport area, hoping to leave Kabul, captured by the Taliban. Due to the large crowd of people, it is almost impossible to get into the air harbor.
