Vigumu sana kuelewa haya maugomvi, Urusi amekua akisifiwa na wavaa kobaz tangu alipovamia Ukraine, ila leo naona wanajitoa mhanga kwa kujilipua kwenye ubalozi wake.

ISIL claims responsibility​

The ISIL (ISIS) group claimed responsibility for the attack late on Monday. An ISIL fighter “blew up his suicide vest in a gathering attended by Russian employees” near the embassy, the group said in a statement via Telegram channels.

It was the latest in a series of bombings, many of them claimed by ISIL, that has largely targeted Taliban positions or mosques of minority groups, particularly Shia Muslims.

Monday’s bombing, however, appeared to be the first to target a foreign diplomatic mission in Kabul since the Taliban takeover in August 2021.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking to journalists in Moscow, slammed the attack as “absolutely unacceptable”.


Afghanistan’s foreign ministry confirmed the death of two embassy staff.

“It [blast] actually happened close to the embassy where there was a crowd of people gathered to apply for the Russian visa,” Kabul-based journalist Najib Lalzoy told Al Jazeera.

UN condemns attack​

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “strongly” condemned the attack and expressed his condolences to the victims and their families in a statement.

The UN mission in Afghanistan also condemned the bombing.

“UNAMA stresses the need for the de facto authorities to take steps to ensure the safety and security of the people as well as diplomatic missions,” it tweeted.

Two Russian embassy staff among six killed in Kabul suicide blast

Two Russian embassy employees were among six people killed in a suicide blast near Russia's embassy in Kabul on Monday.

Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement that "an unknown militant set off an explosive device. As a result of the attack, two employees of the diplomatic mission were killed."

The foreign ministry added that "there are also victims among Afghan citizens" without giving further details.

"One of the employees of the embassy was an Afghan guard and we still do not know the nationality of the second person," an Afghan security source told CNN. Another 10 people were injured in the blast. Russia's Investigative Committee said that two staff killed were the embassy's second secretary and a security guard.

Kabul's police spokesman said that explosives went off in a crowd of people after an attacker was identified and shot by Afghan security forces near the Russian embassy.

"Today around 11 a.m. local time a suicide bomber, who was planning to blow up his explosives among the crowd of people, was identified and shot by the security forces near the Russian embassy in Police District 7, Kabul. As a result, his explosives went off," police spokesman Khalid Zadran said on Twitter.

An ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan claimed credit for the attack in a statement on Monday.

CNN cannot independently verify the authenticity of this claim.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said additional Taliban forces had been brought in to secure the embassy in the Afghan capital.

"Two of our comrades have died. A set of measures were immediately taken to strengthen the protection of the outer perimeter," Lavrov said during a meeting with Tajikistan's foreign minister in Moscow. The "intelligence and counterintelligence services of Afghanistan are involved," he added.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the attack as "unacceptable."

"This was a terrorist attack, they are absolutely unacceptable. We strongly condemn such terrorist acts. Of course, now the main thing is to get information about what happened to our diplomats. As far as I understand, the information will be updated," Peskov told a briefing Monday.
