Russian Ministry Spokesman Maria Zacharova praised the US authorities' statement about their intention to avenge the deaths of Americans in an explosion at Kabul airport. In her opinion, Washington plans to avenge its failures in Afghanistan.
The diplomat recalled that the United States was already in this country “with a mission of retribution.” They have been carrying out this mission for 20 years, as she recalled on Radio Russia.
Politico previously reported that the US military will use US Navy planes to strike at militants in Afghanistan. The conclusion is drawn from Washington's statement on its readiness to impose precise attacks on fighters of the “Islamic State” (the organization is recognized as terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation) using aircraft and drones.
The article also provides expert judgment that makes the United States more likely. In all, they will use long-distance drones to collect data on the situation in Afghanistan.
On August 26, a series of explosions occurred near Kabul International Airport. The first explosive device was detonated by a suicide bomber near the Baron Hotel. At least 200 people were killed in the attack, including 13 American soldiers.
