Terrorists continue to pose a serious threat to security in Afghanistan destabilizing the situation in the region, a comment of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the ISIS attack on the Jalalabad prison reads.
We strongly condemn the attack on a prison in Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan by militants of the international terrorist group ISIS, which killed at least 29 people on August 3," the message says.
"This attack, like the recent attacks on civilians in crowded places in other Afghan cities, indicates that ISIS continues to pose a serious threat to security in Afghanistan and is a major destabilizing factor in the region," the Ministry stressed.
Russia calls on the Afghan authorities and the command of the US and NATO forces deployed there to take targeted, coordinated and comprehensive action to destroy any strongholds of ISIS in the Islamic Republic.
