The information agency of the terrorist group ISIS, “Amaq,” reported that the explosion on September 5 in front of the Russian embassy in Kabul was carried out by a member of the group with the aim to “destroy enemies.”

“The deadly explosion of the Islamic State in front of the entrance to the Russian embassy claimed the lives and injured more than 25 people, including two Russian diplomats and several of their spies,” the group’s statement noted.

It was previously reported that on September 5, an explosion occurred near the entrance gates of the Russian embassy in the Darulaman area of Kabul, resulting in several deaths and injuries.
