The ISIS terrorist group has claimed credit for Monday’s deadly suicide bomb attack near the entrance of the Russian embassy in the Afghanistan capital, Kabul.

In a statement on the extremist group’s Telegram channel, ISIS said one of its fighters “blew up his suicide vest in a gathering attended by Russian employees” near the embassy.
