Kabul militant attack: US condemns
"The U.S. Embassy strongly condemns today’s deadly attack on an Afghan National Army Hospital in Kabul," read a statement issued by the US Embassy in Kabul.
"The attack demonstrates the blatant disregard for human life by those seeking to disrupt Afghanistan’s democratic progress. Targeting a medical facility providing care for the brave Afghans working to protect their fellow citizens has no possible justification in any religion or creed. We extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the victims of this senseless and cowardly act," it said.
At least 30 people were killed as terrorists attacked Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan Military Hospital in Afghanistan's capital Kabul on Wednesday, media reports said.
The attack left 50 others injured, reports said.
Syed Ismael Kawasi, public relation officer of the MoPH, told Pajhwok Afghan News the injured had been shifted to Wazir Mohammad Akbar Khan and Emergency Hospitals.
Militant group ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
