Taliban's latest exploits come even as the Afghans fled to the Hamid Karzai international airport in a desperate bid to escape from the new leadership in Afghanistan.
US officials on Monday evening had closed the airport in Kabul as hundreds of Afghans stood at the tarmac with several seen chasing US military planes as it left the airport.
Videos posted on social networks showed scenes of panic and fear in Kabul as people huddled together at the airport desperate to leave the country.
Although the Pentagon had announced earlier it was making preparations formass evacuation, Taliban's abrupt entry into the Afghan capital led to panic in the city.
Amid the confusion at the airport, a crisis cell has been set up to organise the reception of Afghan refugees on US bases. US officials said at least 2,000 Afghans have already been airlifted.
The US intends to transport thousands of interpreters and their families who helped the US forces in Afghanistan in the past 20 years.
