In a statement published on the Telegram messaging platform, the IS-K group said that it had fired six rockets targeting the Kabul airport. The "Islamic State" affiliate in Afghanistan also said some people were injured in the attack.
These claims were not immediately verifiable and contradicted US military accounts in places.
A US official said that five rockets, not six, were fired, and that the US thwarted the attack. The official also said there were no US casualties or injuries.
