Afghan crisis: Satellite images reveal the chaos at Kabul airport

The situation in Afghanistan has been worsening since the Taliban took complete control of the war-torn country on Sunday. Maxar Technologies recently shared satellite images from Hamid Karzai International Airport in the capital city of Kabul, which showed the desperation of Afghan nationals to flee from their home country.

As international governments started airlifting their officials, thousands of people thronged the Kabul airport to break free from the Islamist hardline organisation’s rule. Amid the chaos, two armed men at the airport were killed by US soldiers, a Pentagon official said.

On Monday, visuals showed that some desperate Afghan nationals held on to a US military aircraft and plunged to their deaths as it took off.
