US Marine Corps General Kenneth McKenzie, commander of US Central Command, speaks during a news conference, in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Jul 25, 2021. KABUL: United States will to continue to carry out airstrikes to support Afghan forces facing attack from the insurgent Taliban, a regional US commander said on Sunday as US and other international forces have drawn down troops in Afghanistan.

McKenzie, who leads US Central Command, which controls US forces for a region that includes Afghanistan, declined to say whether US forces would continue airstrikes after the end of their military mission on Aug 31.
