										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400">At least five people were reportedly killed amid chaos at the Kabul airport on Monday. Hundreds of people jostled to board a plane out of the country now taken over by the Taliban. A witness told Reuters it is not clear whether they died in a stampede or because of gunshots. Earlier in the day, an Air India flight to Kabul was cancelled after airspace over Afghanistan was declared closed. The airline had a scheduled flight for Kabul from Delhi at 8.50 am on Monday. However, it was rescheduled to 12.50 pm later before it was cancelled. Staff and personnel at the Indian Embassy in Kabul vacated the premises and left the Afghanistan capital on Sunday night.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Taliban’s political office spokesperson Mohammad Naeem declared that the “war was over” in Afghanistan. Naeem’s statement came hours after the insurgent group entered the presidential palace in Afghanistan capital Kabul on Sunday evening.</span></p>
