Footage shared on social media appears to show Afghan civilians clinging to the side of a US military aircraft as it prepares to take off from Kabul’s international airport.
In the videos, which the BBC has not verified, a number of people are seen apparently sitting on the side of the US military transport plane as it moves down the runway, while crowds run alongside.
According to some reports, which have also not been confirmed, at least two people were killed after falling from a plane after it had taken off.
At least two other people were reportedly killed earlier at the same airport, as crowds of passengers attempted to flee the country. It is unclear whether they were shot or killed in a stampede.
The Taliban entered Kabul on Sunday and took control of Afghanistan for the first time in almost 20 years after the government collapsed and President Ashraf Ghani fled abroad.
