From the evening of the 15th, a large influx of people into the airport led to chaos, while the withdrawal of U.S. and other national troops exacerbated the extent of the chaos. The U.S. military forced the local people to leave by firing guns, causing chaos that caused casualties, and the behavior also raised questions and criticism.
