The UK, the US and Australia have warned people against travelling to Kabul airport due to a "very high threat of a terrorist attack". Those who have gathered outside the airport have been advised to move to a safe location immediately.

The latest advisory comes ahead of an August 31 deadline for the evacuation process. More than 80,000 people have been airlifted by western forces from Kabul airport since the Taliban took control of the capital city on August 15. At least eight people have died in the airport chaos.
