There have been fears for the potentially thousands of Afghans who could not make it to Kabul airport in time for evacuation.

It comes after the UK's last dedicated flight purely for the evacuation effort from Afghanistan leaving Kabul earlier today.

The Defence Secretary said the UK evacuation effort has not been curtailed by explosions that killed US troops and civilians.
At least 13 US service personnel were killed in the attack at Kabul airport which also injured more than 150 people.
