May 07, 2021

The United States has deployed extra military resources to protect coalition forces withdrawing from Afghanistan.

Heavy bombers and fighter jets have been deployed to safeguard troops and civilian contractors.

US President Joe Biden has set the withdrawal deadline for 11 September this year after twenty years.

Meanwhile, Taliban have warned that they are no longer bound by an agreement not to target international troops.

Under a deal signed last year between Taliban and then-US President Donald Trump, foreign forces were to have left by first of May.
