TEHRAN -- Iran has
condemned a deadly terrorist attack that targeted a hospital in the heart of the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said any act of terrorism targeting ordinary people is condemned after at least 25 people were killed and scores injured in the attack on Afghanistan’s largest hospital.
The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack. There have been a series of terrorist attacks across Afghanistan in recent weeks, all claimed by the takfiri group.
More than 60 people were killed and over 80 wounded in three back-to-back explosions that hit the Bibi Fatima mosque during Friday prayers on October 15, one of the biggest blasts in Kandahar. It came just a week after a bomb attack killed more than 150 people and left scores of others injured at a Shia mosque in the northeastern city of Kunduz.
On Monday, Iran handed over the 11th consignment of humanitarian aid to Taliban officials. The shipment consisted of five trucks carrying 20 tons of food, 50 tons of rice and warm clothes.
Iran has been sending humanitarian and medical aid to Afghanistan over the past two months, particularly after terrorist incidents in the cities of Kunduz and Kandahar.
