Afghanistan: Explosions reported near Kabul International Airport in Kabul late Oct. 20
Tight security likely after at least three explosions reportedly occur near Kabul International Airport, Kabul, Afghanistan, late Oct. 20.
Authorities will likely maintain a heightened security posture near Kabul International Airport (KBL) in Kabul over the coming hours following reports of multiple explosions near the facility late Oct. 20. Preliminary information suggests that at least three explosions may have occurred, possibly due to a missile attack. Local officials did not immediately confirm the incident nor any associated casualties.
Localized ground transport disruptions will likely affect the vicinities of the blasts. Flight disruptions may impact KBL over the short term. Further isolated security incidents cannot be ruled out.
