The attack was carried out at around 10:50 a.m., when a crowd of people were gathering to apply for visas to travel to Russia.[1] Kabul police said that the terrorist had been shot dead in the attack by security forces, but his bombs exploded after he was killed. The terrorist attack killed at least eight people according to Al Jazeera but RIA Novosti reported that at least ten had died.[2] Two of the dead were embassy employees, including an unnamed security guard and a secretary, Mikhail Shah.[2] Police said that two employees and at least four Afghan civilians were killed.[3]

An unclear number of people were injured in the bombing. RIA Novosti reported 15 to 20 wounded.[4][5]

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov condemned the attack and held a moment of silence for the victims.[2] According to Reuters and Gazeta.Ru, the Islamic State – Khorasan Province (IS-KP) group claimed responsibility for the attack via Telegram.[6][7]
