Breaking: Pentagon: Two ‘High Profile’ ISIS-K Targets Killed in Retaliatory Drone Strike

-

The Pentagon on Saturday confirmed that two "high-profile" Islamic State leaders in Afghanistan were killed in a retaliatory drone strike carried out by U.S. military forces less than 48 hours after a suicide bombing by the group at the Kabul airport killed at least 169 Afghans and 13 American service members.

Major General Hank Taylor, deputy director of the Joint Staff for Regional Operations, confirmed during a briefing on Saturday that the two targets were killed and one was wounded.

“We know of zero civilian casualties,” Taylor said. “Without specifying any future plans, I will say that we will continue to have the ability to defend ourselves and to leverage over the horizon capability to conduct counterterrorism operations as needed,” 

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Saturday that all of the targets, who were "ISIS-K planners and facilitators," were hit in a single strike.
