Meanwhile, the United States has so far removed the equivalent of 60 cargo planes, keeping in mind the September deadline.

The U.S. Central Command says 1,300 items have been sent for destruction since President Joe Biden’s April 14 announcement of a troop withdrawal, and a military installation in the southern Afghan province of Helmand has been handed over to the Afghan army.

Afghan troops have been battling a growing number of militant attacks in Helmand province in recent days. Washington handed over the Antonic base on Sunday as part of a formal US troop withdrawal that began on May 1.

Meanwhile, US military leaders fear that the Kabul government could face an extreme threat from the Taliban after the withdrawal.

After 9/11, US troops were deployed in Afghanistan in 2001 to oust the Taliban from the area, and airstrikes were announced.

September 11 marks the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Twitter Tower in the United States. The U.S. military has been deployed in Afghanistan for nearly 20 years to root out the Taliban.
