Confirmation has emerged that fuel and oil storage infrastructure at Kandahar International Airport was struck during recent airstrikes. Taliban spokesman acknowledged that the Kam Air fuel storage facility was hit. However, geolocation data and footage indicate that the Kandahar Airfield oil storage depot was also targeted, suggesting wider damage than publicly stated. Reported strike locations include the Kam Air fuel storage facility and the Kandahar Airfield oil storage depot. Since 2021, the Afghan Taliban had reportedly been using fuel from this depot to operate helicopters stationed at the airfield, making it a key logistical site. The incidents point to potential broader disruption of fuel and maintenance capacity for aviation operations in the area, with implications for regional logistics and security.
