“Conditions on the ground remain extremely challenging but we are doing everything we can to manage the situation as safely and securely as possible,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement, according to the Associated Press.

GOP blasts Biden for withdrawal situation

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., blasted Biden's adherence to a withdrawal deadline that was extended about four months from a deadline deal struck by the Trump administration with the Taliban. “Every single day the president asks his military commanders, including those at the airport and those at the Pentagon, whether they need additional resources, additional troops,” Sullivan said on NBC’s "Meet the Press" on Sunday. “So far, the answer has been ‘no,’ but he will ask again today.”

Sullivan said the U.S. will have a “swift and forceful response” if the Taliban disrupts the evacuation. He said the U.S. hasn’t offered the Taliban anything in return as part of the militant group’s agreement to not interfere. People evacuated from Kabul arrive at Hindon Air force base near New Delhi, India, Aug. 22, 2021. A special military flight carrying 168 people, which includes 107 Indian nationals and 61 others, landed at Hindon Air force base near New Delhi, according to the External Affairs Ministry spokesman.

The addition of 18 commercial aircraft — three each from American Airlines, Atlas Air, Delta Air Lines and Omni Air; two from Hawaiian Airlines; and four from United Airlines — is not expected to strain commercial flights, Kirby said. Those planes will not fly into Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. "They will be used for the onward movement of passengers from temporary safe havens and interim staging bases," according to Kirby's statement.
