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.

ISIS militants have fought battles against the Taliban in recent years, in search of a foothold in Afghanistan, after the collapse of their alleged caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
It seems that ISIS wants to embarrass the Taliban at this stage by launching an attack that will shake their image before the international community.
