The government said on Thursday that it is deeply saddened by the news of a brutal attack at a military hospital in Kabul on Wednesday, in which dozens were killed and scores others injured.

“In line with our principled position, Nepal unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. “The government of Nepal believes that the perpetrators behind this heinous act will be brought to justice soon. At this hour of grief, the government and people of Nepal extend heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the government and people of Afghanistan as well as to the bereaved families.”
