The statement of UNAMA states: “We share our grief with the families of the victims and want to conduct an investigation to arrest and hold accountable the perpetrators of this attack.”

Richard Bennett, the United Nations special rapporteur for human rights in Afghanistan, called this attack an example of international crimes and added that the increase in ISIS attacks in Afghanistan is worrying.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the attack and called for “immediate measures” to punish its perpetrators.

Nasser Kanani, the spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, published a newsletter today saying that he “strongly” condemns this attack and expresses his sympathies with the families of the victims.

The Iranian Embassy in Kabul also condemned this attack by publishing a newsletter on X and demanded the punishment of the perpetrators of this incident.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Taliban group, condemned the shooting of 14 residents of Daikundi and said that the group is searching for the perpetrators of this incident.

Mr. Mujahid has written in his X that the Taliban have condemned this event and consider it their “obligation” to protect people’s property and lives.

This is despite the fact that on the afternoon of Thursday, 22، September, gunmen riding motorcycles shot 14 residents of Daikundi and wounded six others in the area between Qorba “Qariydal” district of Sangtakht and Bandar district of Daikundi province and “Pahlu Sang” village of Ghor province. .

These people were the residents of “Qariyudal” village, Sangtakht and Bandar district of Daikundi province, who had gone to the border areas of Ghor province to welcome the pilgrims of Karbala.
