Afghans flee Kabul this morning after the attacks
|
The Taliban's official Voice of Shariat radio said this morning the attacks on Kabul had caused no casualties or material damage in the city.
The radio, monitored by the BBC, said the airstrikes had only boosted morale in the country and Afghanistan would fight to its last breath of life. There has not been any human or material damage yet, the radio report said.
"The well-organised and brave army of the Islamic Emirate will defend its Muslim nation and each metre of the country to its last breath of life," it said.
A Taliban spokesman said that two people were killed and four injured in the attacks on Kandahar.
However, the Afghan Islamic Press said 20 people had died near Kabul airport and 10 were killed near the radio station headquarters.
The Pakistan-based agency said 20 people had died in the Qasabah Khana neighbourhood near Kabul airport and that more than 10 had been killed near the offices of state-run Radio Shariat.
