Description
Taliban fighters from the 313 "Badri" Brigade inside the remains of what appears to have been an ammunition depot inside Eagle Base, a few miles northeast of downtown Kabul, where the Central Intelligence Agency trained, bunked and staged missions with the NDS 01 paramilitary unit, who became infamous for a slew of massacres and executions in Maidan Wardak province in 2019. The ammunition depot was among many facilities inside Eagle Base that were destroyed before the withdrawal of its residents the day before the last U.S. military personnel lifted off from Afghanistan in the early hours of August 31, 2021.
