Pakistan Condemns Suicide Attack in Kabul, Afghanistan

Pakistan condemns, in the strongest terms, the suicide attack that took place near a hospital in Kabul this afternoon which resulted in the loss of precious lives and left many people injured.

We standby with our brotherly people of Afghanistan in this moment of grief and convey our deepest condolences to the bereaved families. We pray to Almighty Allah to grant them patience and forbearance in this hour of difficulty and hope for the speedy recovery of the injured.

The abominable act of targeting innocent civilians reflects the cowardice of the terrorists. It strengthens our resolve to continue our struggle of countering terrorism in all of its forms. We reiterate our resolve to closely coordinate with the Government of Afghanistan in this fight against our common enemy.
