On Tuesday, Russian’s foreign affairs ministry said that Russian embassy staff were injured in a blast in the Afghanistan capital Kabul.
The ministry called on the Afghan authorities to take steps to ensure the safety of the Russian embassy staff there.
An improvised explosive device exploded not far from the embassy as one of their cars was driving past, it said. Several embassy staff on board were slightly hurt.
An initial assessment suggests the attack had been intended for the Afghan security forces, the statement continued. But they had not ruled out that embassy staff were in fact the target, and the embassy was tightening its security.
