The Taliban have taken control of Kabul airport after the withdrawal of US troops. Special forces of the Taliban, known as unit 313 Badri, entered the airport after the last American plane left the military zone of the infrastructure, and Taliban representatives also held a press conference afterwards to stage a staged takeover of the infrastructure.
