Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack outside Kabul airport, which has killed 60 people, including 12 US service members. More than 140 people have been injured. The Defence Minister Peeni Henare says the final New Zealand Defence Force evacuation flight from Afghanistan landed back in the United Arab Emirates last night, before the explosions at Hamid Karzai International Airport. 100 people, including New Zealanders and Australians, were on the flight. It's yet not clear how many of those people are destined for New Zealand.
