US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is holding a press briefing on the US ongoing evacuation efforts in Afghanistan. The official is expected to update the media about the process and answer questions about US actions after the 31 August deadline.
The Taliban earlier issued a stern warning against delaying the withdrawal of US and NATO forces, cautioning of "consequences" of a violation of the agreement. Earlier this week, US allies said they would not be able to evacuate everyone by the end of August.
*The Taliban is a terrorist organisation banned in Russia and many other nations.
