The US military put on hold its evacuation process from Kabul temporarily on Monday to clear the airfield at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan’s capital, news agency Reuters reported, citing senior defence officials.
An official, speaking to Reuters on the condition of anonymity, did not say how long the pause would last.
Horrific video shared on social media showed some people who tried to flee the country as stowaways, either by clinging on the belly or the wheels of a US air force plane, fell as the mammoth flying machine took off. Local reports claimed at least three people fell to their death.
