'If you are still in Afghanistan, you are advised to leave now.'
The UK Government has told all of its nationals to get out of Afghanistan amid worsening chaos and violence in the country.
The Foreign Office website reads: ‘All British nationals in Afghanistan are advised to leave now by commercial means. If you are still in Afghanistan, you are advised to leave now by commercial means because of the worsening security situation. It added: ‘Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Afghanistan. Specific methods of attack are evolving and increasing in sophistication.
Afghanistan was already on the Government’s travel red list as a result of the country’s coronavirus situation, but fighting has intensified in recent days. In southern Nimroz province, Zaranj appeared to be the first provincial capital to fall to the group, though the government claimed there was still fierce fighting around key infrastructure in the city.Earlier this week, a Taliban bombing attack targeted Afghanistan’s acting defence minister, Bismillah Khan Mohammadi.
