The situation in Kabul continues to move fast with fluid reporting.

The acting Afghan interior minister has appeared in a video, broadcast on local outlet Tolo TV, saying there would be a “peaceful transfer of power” to a transitional government. He said Kabul would not come under attack.

The Associated Press news agency, citing an Afghan official, said Taliban negotiators were heading to the presidential palace to prepare for a “transfer” of power.

The Taliban earlier said they had instructed fighters to wait at the city’s gates.
