The United States strongly condemns the attack on a residential compound in PD9 last night that killed and injured innocent Afghan and international civilians, including children. In the face of these cowardly acts, the United States stands with the people of Afghanistan who seek a peaceful future and an end to conflict and violence. We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the victims, and we will continue to support our Afghan partners to achieve an end to the conflict in Afghanistan.
