5:16Now PlayingAt least five rockets were fired at Kabul Airport early Monday morning, but a missile defense system helped intercept several of them.
BNC correspondent Bofta Yimam joins "Start Your Day" with Mike Hill and guest host Shannon LaNier to discuss the violence erupting in Afghanistan and the response from the White House. President Biden has been briefed about the attack and according to Reuters, there have been no initial reports of U.S. casualties. This comes after the Pentagon said the military carried out an airstrike on a vehicle that posed an imminent ISIS threat to the airport. Several civilians, including children, were reportedly killed.
All this and more on "Start Your Day."
