- The highly-secure two square-mile CIA compound was situated between Kabul’s industrial outskirts and a mountain range.
- Aerial footage reveals that the compound’s Eagle Base (counter-terrorism training) and Salt Pit (interrogation facility) were burned down, preventing the Taliban from seizing sensitive materials.
- While most of the destruction took place in late August, buildings were starting to come down in April and May (2021).
- Satellite imagery also reveals mass helicopter evacuations; hundreds of people were allegedly evacuated the day the Taliban took power.
