The German embassy was massively damaged and workers were injured in a vehicle bomb attack in the Afghan capital on Wednesday morning that has killed at least 80 people.

In one of the worst attacks in Kabul in recent years, the German embassy was hit hard, with photos of the scene showing dozens of damaged windows on the front side of the building, according to DPA.

German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel announced that embassy workers were among the hundreds of people injured, and that an Afghan security worker who was guarding the grounds was also killed. Gabriel further confirmed that “all staff are now safe”.

“The news from Afghanistan is shocking. I condemn the attack in Kabul, in which dozens of people were injured and killed, in the strongest possible terms,” Gabriel said in a statement posted to Twitter.

“Our thoughts are with the victims’ families and friends… Such attacks to not change in any way our determination to continue supporting the Afghan Government in further stabilizing the country.”
