The US pressed on with its evacuation efforts from Afghanistan amid tighter security measures and fears of more bloodshed, a day after the suicide attack at the Kabul airport that killed scores of Afghans and 13 American service personnel.

The US warned that more attacks could follow ahead of President Joe Biden’s deadline to withdraw American forces from Afghanistan by Tuesday.
