Biden vows more strikes on Islamic State group
President Biden pledged ongoing airstrikes against Islamic State targets after the Kabul airport attack that killed 13 U.S. service members and many Afghans. He warned another attack could come within 24 to 36 hours as the U.S. winds down evacuations with fewer than 4,000 troops remaining. The Pentagon said a drone strike in Nangarhar killed two IS planners, while officials noted the broader exit and ongoing efforts to protect troops and assist evacuees.
