The Islamic State terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the fatal terrorist attack that took place near the Russian embassy in Kabul on Monday, Reuters reported. 
 
The explosion shook the Afghan capital of Kabul in the area surrounding the Russian embassy. Two employees of the diplomatic mission were killed as a result of the terrorist attack, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi offered his condolences to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following the terrorist attack and said that a necessary investigation will be conducted, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. 
 
"On September 5, a phone conversation took place between Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Acting Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Muttaqi. In connection with the terrorist attack on the morning of September 5 at the consular section of the Russian Embassy in Kabul, which killed two members of the diplomatic mission and Afghan citizens, Muttaqi expressed his condolences on behalf of the Afghan leadership and assured that all necessary measures would be taken to investigate this crime," the ministry said in a statement. 
 
Lavrov and Muttaqi agreed that the countries will "strengthen bilateral cooperation in the fight against the international terrorism." the ministry added, and Muttaqi assured Lavrov that the Afghan security forces would give close attention to the security of the Russian embassy.

Since reclaiming power in the country in August 2021, the Taliban movement has been battling a local chapter of IS-K, which is believed to be responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks and bomb explosions in Afghanistan. 

The presence of IS-K in the country is minimal, and the movement has been working to eliminate the group, according to the Taliban.

Clashes erupted between Taliban militants and IS-K militants in early August in the country's capital.

The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in August of last year after an incredibly chaotic withdrawal of US troops and the end of the US occupation of the country.
