According to Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby, one of the rockets passed through US defenses and landed in Kabul Airport in the attack last night, but “did not cause damage to the US military or aircraft.”

There are reports that a group of American university students cannot enter.
What’s new: Hundreds of Afghan students and alumni of the American University of Kabul told us that after waiting 7 hours on the bus to arrive at the airport today, the evacuation was cancelled. They panicked, saying that their names and passport information had been shared with the Taliban.https://t.co/5TeA6N59z9

The Taliban posted a photo of themselves standing at the entrance of the university building on social media, with an ominous message saying that they were the place where the U.S. trained pagan “wolves” to corrupt Muslim ideas.

The students were told that there were no more flights and their names had been provided to the Taliban.
