The U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, is urging all Americans to leave the country amid an increase in fighting, saying those Americans should not “rely on U.S. government flights.”

“The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to leave Afghanistan immediately using available commercial flight options. Given the security conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassy’s ability to assist U.S. citizens in Afghanistan is extremely limited even within Kabul,” the embassy said on its website over the weekend.
