The United Nations Security Council has condemned the suicide attack in Kunduz, stating that terrorism in all its forms is one of the most serious threats to peace and security, both in Afghanistan and globally.
In a statement released on Wednesday, February 12, the Security Council expressed that the attack resulted in multiple casualties, both dead and wounded.
The Security Council emphasized that terrorism is one of the most serious threats to peace and security, not only in Afghanistan but globally, and it must be confronted.
Members of the Security Council stressed the importance of prosecuting the perpetrators, organizers, and supporters of such attacks, urging all countries to cooperate in the fight against terrorism under international law.
The statement also highlighted that all acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable and must be dealt with under any circumstances.
This follows a suicide bombing on Tuesday at a Kabul Bank branch in Kunduz city, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of several Taliban fighters and civilians.
The terrorist group ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. The ISIS suicide attack in Kunduz took place just one day after the United Nations Security Council discussed the threat posed by the ISIS-Khorasan branch from Afghanistan and the region.
The international community continues to express deep concern over the rise of terrorism in Afghanistan, with the Security Council calling for a united global effort to address and eradicate these threats. The situation remains critical, and continued support for Afghanistan’s security and stability is crucial in combating these ongoing challenges.
