Afghanistan crisis: Kabul airport closed to commercial flights

KABUL: Senior US military officials say Kabul's international airport has been closed to commercial flights as military evacuations continue.

The suspension of commercial flights cuts off one of the last avenues to escape the country



for Afghans fearful of Taliban rule.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing operations.

The Taliban captured most of the country in a matter of days and swept into the capital on Sunday.
