Afghanistan: Firings reported at Kabul airport, I-Day rally in Asadabad

Continuous gunshots were heard from the Kabul airport as Afghans continued to gather outside its gate in hopes of fleeing the country. In a separate incident, several were killed at an Independence Day rally in Asadabad—the capital of the Kunar province—after firings by the Taliban triggered a stampede. Several chaotic incidents have been reported from across Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power Sunday.
