Several fuel tankers caught fire at the northern end of Kabul in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul late on Saturday night. At least 10 people were injured in this incident. The officials gave information about this. It is not immediately known whether the fire was accidentally or intentionally set. This incident has happened at such a time, the withdrawal of the last remaining soldiers of America and NATO has started from the country. In this way, America’s biggest war in Afghanistan will come to an end.
All 2,500–3,500 US troops and about 7,000 NATO allied forces will be withdrawn from Afghanistan by 11 September. This is the same day that soldiers were sent to Afghanistan due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the US. Home Ministry spokesman Tariq Arian said that the fire started when a fuel tanker caught fire from the spark. After this, many tankers nearby came under fire, which took a terrible form.
Fire has been controlled
Spokesperson Tariq Arian said that dozens of tankers were slowly heading towards Kabul at the time of this fire incident. They were waiting for nine o’clock at night when fuel tankers and other big trucks are allowed to enter the city. He said that the fire was controlled. No immediate evidence of sabotage has been found. But the investigation of this case has started. Significantly, the Taliban’s grip in Afghanistan is expected to be strengthened due to the US troops leaving the country.
Danger of ‘civil war’ in Afghanistan!
Let us know that since the beginning of US troops leaving the country in Afghanistan, there is also an increase in terrorist incidents. Afghan leaders fear that if American soldiers leave the country, it could pose a threat of civil war. At present, the country’s army does not seem capable enough to compete with the Taliban. In such a situation, it is to see how the army of Afghanistan deals with the terrorists after the withdrawal of American soldiers.
