Sen. Tim Kaine and U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith reacted to the attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan that killed more than a dozen American military members.
Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called the attack “horrific” and said he was monitoring the news.
“My prayers are with the innocent victims and their loved ones,” he said. “It’s critical that we do all we can to secure the area so we can prioritize the safe and swift evacuation of U.S. citizens and at-risk Afghan allies. I thank our service members on the ground for their bravery in helping carry out this vital mission.”
Griffith also said he was praying for troops in Afghanistan.
“My heart goes out to the families of our brave service members who have lost their lives or have been wounded in today’s attack.”
