Pakistan condemns terrorist attacks in Afghanistan
Pakistan has condemned terrorist attacks in Mazar-i-Sharif, capital of Afghanistan’s northern Balkh province, which caused loss of precious Afghan lives, injuring many others, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said.
“The government and people of Pakistan extend their sympathies, support and solidarity to the people of Afghanistan and particularly with the bereaved families,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday.
At least nine civilians were killed and 13 others wounded in twin blasts on Thursday in Mazar-i-Sharif, a provincial police spokesman confirmed.
“We believe these heinous acts of terrorism against innocent Afghans are aimed at weakening the resolve of the Afghan nation in pursuit of peace, stability and progress,” the foreign ministry said.
Pakistan urged the international community to extend all possible support and assistance to Afghanistan in combating terrorism and overcoming these challenges.
