Sympathizing with the families of the victims and the government of Afghanistan, the Iranian Embassy added that two Iranians and five Afghans were also injured in the incident.

Iran's Foreign Ministry on Monday condemned the terrorist attack.

Condemning the terrorist attack, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said that investigations are underway to determine who is responsible for the terrorist attack.
