BREAKING: UK defence source confirms there were two explosions outside Kabul airport. One explosion occurred by Barons Hotel, followed by small arms fire, then a second explosion occurred by Abbey Gate. No UK military casualties, according to initial assessment
A Talib in #Khost#Afghanistan told me that the civilian airstrip in Khost "is ready to operate" and that "soon @unafghanistan and @ICRC_af planes will land" there.
Interesting: remnants of the anti-Taliban forces in Baghlan had insider help. Given that much of the collapse came from side-switching because US pulled away logistics and air support that made the Afghan army function, does leave open the possibility they can switch right back.
One of the TB members killed in Andarab, Baghlan was this guy Amir Zazai. He was a poet + head of TB's sniper unit in the area. He was from Pul-e-Khumri, the capital of Baghlan, and had recently gotten married. Right now pro-TB accounts are mourning their "martyrs" from Andarab.
Military officials from the fallen #Afghanistan government are joining the anti-Taliban resistance in Panjshir. Unclear what kind of numbers this is happening in.

I just saw two Chinooks heading north from #Kabul airport. In the old days this would have been unexceptional, but with Bagram gone, one wonders where they were heading... #Afghanistan
