AT Monitoring Desk-KABUL: The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) on Friday condemned the deadly attack in Kabul which killed nearly 15 civilians and injured more than 400 others.
In a statement issued by UNAMA, Nicholas Haysom, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan said: “I condemn, in the strongest terms, today’s indiscriminate attack in Kabul.”
“I reiterate UNAMA’s repeated calls for the immediate ban of weapons which kill and maim indiscriminately, and to cease attacks in civilian-populated areas. Those responsible for such attacks must be held accountable.”
UNAMA extended its condolences to the families of all of those killed in the explosion and wishes a speedy recovery to those who were injured.
