The Self-Defense Forces dispatched a transport plane to the airport in Kabul, the capital city, on the 26th to evacuate the Japanese remaining in Afghanistan. However, it is not transported.



The Self-Defense Forces want to transport as many people as possible during the 26th, given the limited period of activity.

The Self-Defense Forces dispatched a C130 transport plane to the airport in Kabul on the morning of the 26th local time, following the C2 transport plane on the 25th, in order to evacuate the Japanese remaining in Afghanistan and the Afghan staff working at the embassy. ..



According to people familiar with the matter, the C130 transport plane delivered the personnel and equipment needed for the mission to Kabul, but the Self-Defense Forces have so far set up an activity base because those who wish to evacuate have not yet arrived at the airport. It means that there is no transportation to Islamabad in neighboring Pakistan.



As the US military's withdrawal deadline approaches the end of this month, some people involved in transportation missions say that the deadline for activities will be around 27th local time, taking into account the movements of each country.

Meanwhile, on the evening of the 26th, the Self-Defense Forces sent a government aircraft to Islamabad via Komaki base in Aichi prefecture.



At the moment, the government aircraft is scheduled to return to Japan without transporting those who wish to evacuate after delivering the members and equipment.
