Three children were killed in a US drone strike targeting 'multiple suicide bombers' planning an attack on Kabul's evacuation airport - just hours after Joe Biden warned of the possibility of another jihadist atrocity following this week's attack. 

Witnesses said a rocket strike blew up two cars parked outside a residential building near the Hamid Karzai airport to the north of Afghanistan's capital. 

It is believed the vehicles were going to be used in an 'imminent' attack by ISIS-K militants. 

The strike on the vehicles, filled with explosives, is then believed to have caused a secondary blast, killing and wounding several civilians.
