At least four U.S. Marines killed in Kabul airport attack -sources
Four U.S. Marines were killed and three wounded in Thursday’s explosions at Kabul airport, U.S. sources told Reuters, in what the Pentagon said was a “complex attack” during its evacuation mission from Afghanistan.
In a statement, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby confirmed multiple U.S. fatalities but did not give details. The U.S. servicemembers were among those killed when at least two blasts tore through crowds thronging the airport gates.
And where are Joe and Kamala? As of this time, there are no statements from Biden or Kamala

Weird, it’s like nothing is happening. Or, more likely, they want to avoid answering pesky questions from reporters.
The Pentagon did release a statement

The UK’s Boris Johnson has already stated that UK flights will still continue. No one seems to have anything saying if Joe will make a statement, hold a press conference, anything.
