The UN Security Council on Wednesday condemned "in the strongest terms" the horrendous terrorist attack against Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan, on November 2, which was claimed by ISIS-K.

In a statement, the members of the Security Council expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims, and wished a full and speedy recovery to those who were injured. 

"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.
