The Taliban are carrying out "House-to-house executions," according to reports, as newly released audio provides a glimpse into the extremist militants' rule over Afghanistan since the US withdrawal.
Gunshots could be heard in the audio, which was allegedly recorded about the same time the last US plane left Afghanistan.
Footage shows some armed Taliban fighters praying on the tarmac as others cheered.
"All the American troops have left Afghanistan, we are very happy - you can listen to the celebratory fire," Taliban spokesman Bilal Karimi told Agence France-Presse after they stormed the airport.
Toward the end of the withdrawal, Fox News reported that Taliban militants were carrying out "House-to-house executions" in the city, per a senior US official.
Last week, the United Nations human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, warned of "Summary executions" and strict restrictions on women in areas under Taliban control in Afghanistan.
On Friday, an Afghan folk singer was executed by the Taliban days after the Islamic fundamentalist group declared "Music is forbidden in Islam," according to his family.
