The New Zealand Defence Force finished its final evacuation flight from Afghanistan before the suicide attacks at Kabul airport on Friday, the Prime Minister and Defence Minister said.
New Zealand’s C-130 Hercules, which was evacuating people from Kabul, landed in the United Arab Emirates Thursday night, Jacinda Ardern and Peeni Henare confirmed in a statement.
No NZDF personnel were in Kabul at the time of the explosions as they had all safely departed on the final flight.
