There have been twin bomb attacks at Kabul airport targeting people desperate to flee the country after the Taliban takeover.



At least 60 people have been killed and 140 others wounded - among them civilians and 12 US military personnel.



US President Joe Biden, speaking at the White House, vowed to carry on with evacuating people fleeing Afghanistan.



He also pledged that the US would hunt down those behind the attacks and make them pay.



Explosions took place outside the Abbey Gate - where US and British forces have been stationed - and at a nearby hotel.



Boris Johnson says the attack is "despicable" but it will not interrupt the UK's operation.



The attack came after warnings there could be militant attacks, as nations evacuate people ahead of a 31 August deadline.



Canada has joined several European nations in wrapping up evacuation operations.



Huge crowds of people have also built up at Afghanistan's border with Pakistan as people try to flee Taliban rule.

The Pentagon confirmed US service personnel were among those killed - 11 US Marines and a Navy medic.

The bombings came hours after Western governments had warned their citizens to stay away from the airport, because of an imminent threat of an attack by IS-K, the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State group.
