KABUL, Afghanistan (AA) - Some 379 more Turkish nationals departed from Afghanistan's capital Kabul with two A400M transport aircraft of the Turkish Air Force late Saturday.

Efforts to evacuate Turkish citizens from the war-torn country are underway at the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

The unexpected power grab by the Taliban has triggered a rush to flee Afghanistan, including civilians who assisted foreign soldiers or groups and now fear retribution.
