"Any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," the Security Council reiterated. 

At least 25 people were killed and more than 50 were wounded in Tuesday's attack, including a senior Taliban military commander, according to earlier reports.
