A US official said that on the morning of July 31, Zawahiri was standing alone on the balcony of his Kabul residence when a US drone fired two Hellfires.

Clear photographs of the building show flying windows on one floor, but the rest of the building, including windows on the other floors, is still intact.

The official said Zawahiri's family members were present in the house, but "they were not deliberately targeted and harmed."

"We have no indication that civilians were harmed in this attack," the official said.

US President 

announced that the 9/11 attack mastermind 

was killed in a US drone strike.

Biden said justice has been done and this terrorist leader is no more.

In a televised address, the US president said Zawahiri was successfully targeted in the Afghan capital.

Biden said that Zawahiri's death brought justice to the families of 3000 people killed in America on 9/11.

The US President later tweeted from his official handle that the attack "demonstrated our ability and resolve to defend the American people".
