American forces launched a drone strike in Kabul on Sunday that blew up a vehicle carrying "multiple suicide bombers" from Afghanistan's Islamic State affiliate suspected of preparing to attack the airport, a United States officials said, as the US nears the end of its military presence in the Afghan capital.

The strike was the second carried out by US forces in Afghanistan since an Islamic State suicide bomber struck the airport on Thursday, killing 13 US troops and scores of Afghan civilians trying to flee the country.
One US official said Sunday's strike was carried out by an unmanned aircraft and that secondary explosions following the strike showed the vehicle had been carrying a "substantial amount of explosive material."
