European Union foreign ministers will hold a crisis meeting on Tuesday to discuss the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, the bloc said on Monday, as countries race to evacuate citizens and local staff from a chaotic Kabul airport.

Five people were killed at the airport, witnesses said, as people tried to flee a day after Taliban terrorists seized the Afghan capital and declared the war against foreign and local forces over.
