Kabul flights resume as Pentagon warns of swift response to any attack

The Pentagon warned Tuesday of a swift response to any attack carried out by the Talibanagainst the mission to evacuate U.S. personnel and Afghan allies from Afghanistan as flights out of Kabul's airport resumed Tuesday. 

The current U.S. mission in Afghanistan was announced by President Biden on Monday, who said it would be "short in time, limited in scope and focused on our objectives: get our people and our allies as quickly and as safely as possible." 

A White House official told Fox News Tuesday that military and civilian flights from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul are resuming. 

The official said that over the last 24 hours, the U.S. has been able to move more than 700 people out of Afghanistan, including 150 American citizens.
