The United States military will respond in a mirror manner to any manifestation of aggression by the militants of the radical group "Taliban" (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) against the American population. This was announced on Sunday, August 15, by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

He pointed out that as part of ensuring the safe evacuation of American citizens and the category of Afghans, additional US military forces were deployed to Afghanistan. Any threat to the population of the United States will be taken seriously by the military, and a "decisive response" will be given to it, TASS writes.

Earlier in the day, on August 15, the United States assumed responsibility for air traffic control from Kabul Airport.

At the moment, citizens of other countries are being evacuated at the Kabul airport. Employees of American departments were supposed to destroy US flags and important documents.

On August 15, militants of the Taliban terrorist organization raised a flag over the presidential palace in Kabul. In the halls of the government building, the Taliban celebrate their victory: the radicals control all the capital's state institutions.

The building of the state television is occupied, in the live broadcast of which the Taliban are calling on residents to "calm down". Their armed detachments from other provinces of the country continue to gather in Kabul.

Representatives of the radical movement also said that soon they will announce the creation of an Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the presidential Palace in Kabul.

Before that, the militants announced that they control the entire territory of Afghanistan.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani resigned on Sunday and left the country. He called his decision to resign a way to " avoid a massacre."
