the place where most of the people
who have tried these days to be evacuated from the Afghan capital
have crossed

In recent hours, several countries have halted evacuation processes, which were scheduled to be completed this Friday, citing
"credible threats" of attacks by the Islamic State in Khorasan
, the Afghan branch of also known as Daesh.
So far no organization has claimed responsibility.
According to specialists,
the alleged attack was carried out with a vehicle known as SVBIED or vehicle bomb
, capable of causing many deaths.
According to the first information, there are no injuries among the Spanish military.
The Pentagon has confirmed the explosion to international media.
The first images of the alleged attack show injured children.
On this penultimate day of evacuation of civilians - it was planned that during the weekend and until next Tuesday the departure of troops will be completed - hundreds of Afghans continued to crowd by the east gate, with or without safe conduct to be evacuated.
