An Afghan woman gave birth to a baby girl on a US military plane evacuating to a base in Germany, the Air Mobility Command said.
During the flight on Saturday “the mother went into labour and began having complications,” it said in a tweet.
“The aircraft commander decided to descend in altitude to increase air pressure in the aircraft, which helped stabilise and save the mother’s life,” it added. Mother and daughter were in good condition.
Meanwhile, Britain’s defence ministry said seven Afghans died in crowds in Kabul, without giving the circumstances.
Sky News on Saturday aired footage of at least three bodies covered in white tarpaulins outside the airport.
Sky reporter Stuart Ramsay, who was at the airport, said that people at the front of one part of the crowd were being “crushed”, while others were “dehydrated and terrified”.
