A bomb explosion has rocked the airport in Kabul on Thursday.

Though no official comment has quoted figures but officials feel there might be multiple deaths and serious injuries.

The airport has served as home for thousands of Afghans who are desperate to leave the country in the wake of the take over of government by the Taliban.

A BBC report on Thursday said The Taliban’s announcement that it will reimpose Sharia or Islamic law has made millions of young Afghans concerned about their future.

“These young people grew up with considerable freedom compared to their parents. But they fear that all of that could easily be reversed under the Taliban.

Hundreds of Afghan students and other refugees from the country live in India – and they are anxious about what the future holds for them and their families back home.

They tell the BBC’s Anshul Verma about how helpless and frustrated they feel watching their country suffer from afar.”

The Pentagon says casualties from the blast outside Kabul airport are unclear

It comes after warnings that there could be militant attacks, as nations evacuate people ahead of a 31 August deadline, according to the BBC.
