The two Hungarian military transport aircraft which took part in the evacuation of Afghanistan returned from Kabul airport Wednesday evening. The Hungarian rescue mission has come to an end. The government does not plan on taking part in any further sharing or distribution of refugees. The Hungarian Armed Forces has evacuated altogether 540 people from Afghanistan, including all Hungarian citizens known to be in the country. Hungarian Defense Minister Tibor Benkő and Chief of Staff Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi held a press conference Thursday morning to publicly conclude the mission.
The two Airbus A319s left Hungary on August 19 to Bukhara, Uzbekistan, from where they would participate in aiding NATO allies in evacuating Afghanistan, a mission which has saved more than 82 thousand people from the Taliban.
