Chaos at the airport from Accept stormed by civilians fleeing fromAfghanistan after the capture of the capital by the Taliban. Afghans who try to leaving the country they are on the slopes and climbing the stairs. The American soldiers have secured the perimeter of the airport, but they struggle to keep order inside, so much so that they have come to have to shoot shots in the air to maintain control.
Five people were killed. Eyewitnesses cited by Reuters they would have seen the bodies of five people taken away in a vehicle. Another person pointed out that it is not yet clear whether the victims were shot or trapped in the fleeing crowd. In some videos on Twitter you see the crowd on the slopes and hear some shots. After the incidents, Hamid Karzai International Airport canceled commercial flights.
The road to the airport was quickly blocked, embassies were closed and diplomats from various countries, including Italy, were evacuated. Therefore, several airlines are diverting their flight routes, avoiding Afghanistan’s airspace, after Kabul fell into the hands of the Taliban.
At least three companies that have already done so: the American United Airlines, and the Emiratis Emirates e FlyDubai, writes the Cnn, who says he has also consulted other companies, including Virgin Atlantic, British Airways e Qatar Airways, which so far have not responded. A spokesman for India’s Air India said the situation is being “monitored”.
