As a big thing to worry about, several international media outlets had said that the United States troops are in plans to cut short the deadline of evacuation operations and the deadline has been pushed ahead.

However, Defense Department Spokesman John Kirby rubbished these reports and made it clear that there is no change in the deadline fixed for the evacuation from Afghanistan.

John Kirby said, until the 31st of August, the evacuation operations will continue to happen and there is going to be no halt to it. Till the deadline, we make sure that we evacuate as many people as we can.

The United States troops are holding control over the Kabul Airport currently. So far, over 90k people including the diplomats and others were evacuated by the US.

However, the other western countries like France, Canada, Hungary, and Germany reportedly came to the conclusion that they will not go for further evacuation operations, media reports said.

The crisis started in Afghanistan after the Taliban troops took control over the country by capturing all the provincial capitals including the capital city Kabul.
