8 a.m., Kabul: The evacuation of vulnerable American citizens and Afghans begins. The first flight, after a nearly two-month hiatus, left Kabul Airport on Wednesday.
A US-chartered flight has left Afghanistan, the first since the evacuation stopped in November last year, Xi’an reported, citing two informed sources.
Sources said that an unknown number of Americans were on the flight, which left Kabul for Washington by a Qatari plane.
The news of the resumption of the evacuation process comes as the US and Qatari foreign ministers began talking this week about resuming the transfer of American citizens and vulnerable Afghans from Afghanistan.
