The 2021 fall of Kabul was the capture of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, by Taliban forces on 15 August of that year. It was the culmination of a military offensive that began in May 2021 against the Afghan government. The capture took place hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Most of the provincial capitals of Afghanistan had fallen in succession in the midst of a US troop withdrawal under a February 2020 US–Taliban agreement which is projected to be completed by 31 August 2021.
