LONDON (Reuters) – No more British flights purely for civilian evacuees will leave Kabul airport, but flights for British military personnel and a small number of Afghan evacuees will continue, a Defence Ministry spokesperson said on Saturday.

Broadcaster Sky News said the last British flight purely for civilians had left Kabul airport overnight.
