Germany on Sunday night began evacuating members of its embassy staff in Kabul, who are currently at the airport, the foreign minister said.
“Some of them will fly out of Kabul later today,” Haiko Maas told a news conference in Berlin.
In addition, “German army aircraft will leave Germany tonight” to help keep the Germans out of Afghanistan in the coming days, he added.
The departures will be “first from Kabul to a neighboring country”, before “a later transfer to Germany”, Maas said.
The government announced earlier today that it had set up its entire embassy on the “military side” of Kabul airport.
An “operational core” will continue to be there to “accompany the evacuation measures” in the coming days, the minister clarified.
