And US Defense Department officials had said earlier that ISIS had become a threat to Kabul Airport, indicating the possibility of carrying out an attack there.
Pictures and video clips of a number of military planes were spotted launching thermal balloons during takeoff, and the landing of some of them was not normal, but rather a combat landing characterized by high speed.
Airplanes use such tactics to ward off a missile attack, as heat balloons confuse heat-seeking techniques that guide anti-aircraft missiles.
