New Delhi, Mar 8 (IBNS): India on Wednesday condemned the militant attack in Kabul hospital which killed at least 30 people.

"India strongly condemns the terrorist attack on Sardar Daud Khan Hospital in Kabul today, and condoles sincerely the loss of innocent lives, including of those receiving medical care there," India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

"The heinous attack on a hospital is the most deplorable expression of the diabolical designs of terrorists and those who continue to provide safe havens and sanctuaries to terrorists," it said.

"India will continue to support Afghanistan in fighting all forms of terrorism and bringing perpetrators of terrorist violence to justice, wherever they may be," read the statement.

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.
