- Story Text: India's renowned artist, Sudarsan Pattnaik, on Saturday (August 28) created a sand sculpture in eastern Puri city to pay tribute to the victims of deadly bombing outside Kabul airport.
Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), an affiliate of militants who previously battled U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq, said it had carried out Thursday's attack, which killed dozens of people - including Afghans who were trying to leave the country.
Pattnaik, in his sand sculpture, created a girl holding a bruised hand in between reading 'Stop terrorism' and 'Tribute To The Innocents Killed In Kabul Airport'.
"This is a tribute through my art to the innocent lives that were lost," Pattnaik said.
Thursday's attack marked the first U.S. military casualties in Afghanistan since February 2020 and represented the deadliest incident for American troops there in a decade. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
