UN Mission condemns deadly bombing in northern Afghan province
“This horrific attack against civilians in a market demonstrates an appalling disregard for human life,” said Nicholas Haysom, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan.
He said, “UNAMA has repeatedly called for an immediate ban on weapons which kill indiscriminately and that are used in civilian-populated areas.”
According to the media, a suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives in a crowded marketplace.
UNAMA extends its condolences to the families of all of those killed in the explosion and wishes a speedy recovery to those who were injured.
