The U.S. military launched a drone strike against a "planner" from ISIS-K, the terrorist organization that claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing that killed about 170 people near the Hamid Karzai International Airport.
The military conducted “an over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation today against an ISIS-K planner” in the Nangahar Province of Afghanistan, Bill Urban, a spokesperson for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement.
"Initial indications are that we killed the target. We know of no civilian casualties," Urban added. He did not say whether the target was involved in planning the airport attack on Thursday.
