The Central Asian nation of Uzbekistan has ended its agreement allowing U.S. military aircraft and personnel to use an air base that has been an important hub for American military operations in Afghanistan, administration officials said Saturday.
No reason was offered by either the U.S. State Department or the Defense Department for why Uzbekistan was evicting U.S. forces from Karshi-Khanabad air base, commonly referred to as K2.
The Washington Post, which first reported the eviction notice, said no reason was given by Uzbekistan, either, and that U.S. forces would have six months to leave.
