The statement issued by NSC added that, “Security forces arrived at the scene minutes after the incident took place & carried the wounded to the hospitals to provide them with immediate treatment. We make every possible effort to reach every single victim & to not leave alone the grieving families”.
Moreover, the National Security Council grievingly expressed that the enemies must understand such despicable acts cannot deter Afghan people from questing for a peaceful & prosperous future, but creates further hatred against them. The NSC offered deepest condolences & sympathies to the families of deceased & wished quick recovery for the wounded.
