We’re covering the U.S. military’s exit from Afghanistan and the wreckage from Hurricane Ida. Taliban forces patrolled outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Monday.Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times The U.S. military leaves Afghanistan The last U.S. troops have [left the airport in Kabul](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjD87bP4QSAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMS8wOC8zMC93b3JsZC9hZmdoYW5pc3Rhbi1uZXdzL3VzLW1pbGl0YXJ5LWV2YWN1YXRpb24ta2FidWwtYWZnaGFuaXN0YW4_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjEwODMxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTkzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYzOCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYS3bSS1hBjUqPVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), signifying the end of a two-decade fight and the beginning of a Taliban-controlled chapter for the country, U.S. military officials said. Evacuation flights ended today, a day ahead of schedule, and the military then packed equipment and personnel onto transport planes. Control of the airport was left in the hands of the Taliban, who said they were still working on the shape of the new government. Earlier in the day, the U.S. military shot down rockets aimed at the airport.

A few hundred people were waiting outside the airport perimeter, but they were kept at a significant distance by Taliban fighters guarding the area. A few planes — mostly C-17s, large military transport aircraft — took off and turned west into the setting sun. Meanwhile, at a family home in Kabul, survivors said that the U.S. drone strike over the weekend that targeted a vehicle filled with explosives had [killed 10 people, including seven children](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjD87bP4QzAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tL2xpdmUvMjAyMS8wOC8zMC93b3JsZC9hZmdoYW5pc3Rhbi1uZXdzL2EtZmFtaWx5LXNheXMtMTAtb2YtaXRzLW1lbWJlcnMtd2VyZS1raWxsZWQtaW4tYS11cy1kcm9uZS1zdHJpa2UtaW4ta2FidWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmFlXzIwMjEwODMxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTM5MTkzJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NzYzOCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYS3bSS1hBjUqPVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

A shipping container that cannot be unloaded in Los Angeles because too many dock workers are in quarantine cannot be loaded with soybeans in Iowa, leaving buyers in Indonesia waiting, and potentially triggering a shortage of animal feed in Southeast Asia. Factories around the world are limiting operations, despite powerful demand, because they cannot buy metal parts, plastics and other crucial inputs and raw materials. Earlier this month, Toyota announced it would slash its global production of cars by 40 percent because of a shortage of computer chips. Central banks weighing concerns about inflation rates have not been able to answer a key question: How long will the delays last? “There is a genuine uncertainty here,” said one economist. Normalcy might be “another year or two” away, he added.
