Afghanistan: Video reportedly shows people falling from plane taking off from Kabul (video)

Horrific images

Newsroom August 16 12:23

Unbelievable images are unfolding in the last hours at Kabul International Airport, as thousands of people are struggling to leave the country after the Taliban took power.

According to international media, citing eyewitnesses, at least five people lost their lives in the chaos at the airport.

A witness told Reuters he saw a vehicle picking up the bodies of five people, while another eyewitness said it was unclear whether those people had been killed by gunfire earlier by US troops or by trampling in panic because of the gunshots.
