Shortly before the end of its evacuation mission, the American military reportedly began withdrawing its troops from Kabul airport.
The process has begun, said Washington Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby on Saturday.
The US troops are to leave Afghanistan by Tuesday at the will of American President Joe Biden.
More than 5,000 US soldiers were still stationed at Kabul Airport on Friday.
Kirby said the military would not initially release new troop numbers for security reasons.
The American military will be able to fly out Western citizens and former Afghan employees until the end of the mission, he stressed.
According to the Defense Ministry, two “high-ranking” members of the terrorist militia were killed in an American drone attack on the regional branch of the terrorist group “Islamic State” (IS) in Afghanistan.
Another jihadist was injured, said US General Hank Taylor at a press conference on Saturday.
One of those killed was a "planner" of the Afghan-Pakistani IS branch Islamic State Province of Khorasan (IS-K).
Civilians were not harmed in the drone attack, Taylor said.
The American army announced on Friday that the attack, which was controlled from another country, had taken place in Nangarhar province.
The retaliatory attack by the American army was in response to the devastating suicide attack at Kabul airport that killed dozen civilians and 13 US soldiers on Thursday.
Senior officials from the former Afghan government told AFP that more than a hundred people were killed in the attack.
American President Joe Biden announced retaliation after the suicide attack.
