An Afghan has been killed at the Kabul Airport after gunfire.

A firefight broke out between unidentified gunmen and security forces at an entrance to Kabul airport on Monday, according to German army officials.

One Afghan guard was killed and three others injured, officials said, with US and German forces also involved in the incident.

The airport has been a scene of chaos for much of the week since the Taliban takeover of Kabul, with thousands of Afghans and foreign nationals trying to flee the country.

A Nato official told Reuters on Sunday that at least 20 people had died in and around the airport since last weekend – including from crushing and shooting incidents.
