Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): After a group attacked a hotel in the new city of Kabul where Chinese citizens are staying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry asked its citizens to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible due to the current security situation.
Wang Wenbin, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, has offered this advice to their citizens after the attack that was carried out in the New City of Kabul.
The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry has said that he wants the current Afghan authorities to severely punish the attackers and strengthen the security measures of Chinese citizens and organizations in Afghanistan.
He added that Beijing is against any kind of terrorism and expresses its sympathies in connection with the killing of the Islamic Emirate military police in this attack.
At the same time, China's state news agency Xinhua reported that an official of the country's embassy in Kabul said that the embassy is closely monitoring the situation and will take appropriate measures.
In the afternoon of Monday, December 12, the sound of several explosions was heard from the Shahr New area of Kabul, and after that, videos of this attack were published on social networks, in which a fire was seen in a hotel building.
The name of this hotel is Kabul Logan in Chinese, and therefore, it has been a place for most Chinese citizens to stay.
According to Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, no foreign citizen was killed in this attack and the attack ended with the death of three attackers, and only two foreigners were injured when they threw themselves from above.
But the emergency hospital said that 3 dead and 18 injured were transferred to this hospital.
The ISIS terrorist group took responsibility for the attack yesterday.
The Amaq website related to ISIS claimed that the attack on the hotel in New Shahr was carried out by two members of this group.
Yesterday's attack is the second attack on foreigners in Kabul in the last two weeks.
In the December 2nd attack on the Pakistani embassy, the embassy's charge d'affaires Obaidul Rehman Nizamani was killed, but one of his bodyguards was injured.
This is despite the fact that a day before yesterday's event, the Chinese ambassador, in a meeting with Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanekzai, the political deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate, asked him to pay special attention to the security of this country's embassy.
