The Indian embassy in Afghanistan is in touch with the family members of the victims of the "cowardly terrorist attack" at a Gurdwara in capital Kabul, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.
Twety-seven people were killed and several others sustained injuries after armed men stormed a Gurdwara in Kabul and opened fire inside the premise. The Islamic State terror group had claimed responsibility for the attack.
