India condemns suicidal attack outside Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry

New Delhi: India strongly condemned the terrorist attack outside the Afghan Foreign Ministry in Kabul. Several innocent people lost their lives, and several injured are recovering in scattered hospitals in Kabul.

The attack on January 11, 2023, outside the Taliban Foreign Ministry in Kabul has been widely condemned by the United States, United Nations and several other countries.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing near the Foreign Ministry in the Afghan capital.

The blast followed firing. Several nearby building window panes were broken, and a few passing-by vehicles were damaged.

On January 1, a bomb blast near a checkpoint in Kabul's military airport killed at least ten people and injured eight others.
